Member Ratings and Notes

Sku

Nose: Sweet and fruity (pears) with underlying peat.
Palate: Sweet and syrupy, then the peat emerges and builds toward the finish.
Finish: Relatively brief with light peat smoke.

Fairly well balanced and quite drinkable.

Adam

Nose of charcoal briquettes with a dash of starter fluid. Palate is very big yummy smoke and ash, some hickory BBQ, with a tangy quality. Yum! Doesn't leave me with a lot to say, but it's big and peaty and good. B+/A-

Andy

N: pool equipment locker near the beach

P: ashes and gasoline. Sweet butterscotch. So thin! Wintergreen finish

Fuji

Lots of maltiness, buttered biscuits. Mostly tart and citrus.
