The first third of the smoke releases seasoned wood and nutty notes, with hints of hazelnut and rich walnut. The earthy aroma is confirmed with a touch of black pepper. Strength is just slightly above medium (3.5/5).
In the second third, hot spices are added while the black pepper intensifies. Strength also increases, reaching a medium to full level (4/5). The smoke is slightly dry.
In the last third, the flavor profile is confirmed, as well as the strength. The finish is well balanced.
