The nose has peat with burning plastic (though not in a bad way, if that makes any sense).  The palate is smoky campfire embers, and the finish is lots of smoke and a touch of acid.  I don't get much in the way of port influence on this.  It's a very solid peater that's very drinkable and pakcs a good, smoky punch. 

Burning plastic, rubber and new asphalt. Loads of medicinal  peat and  hints of dry flowers. Big hit of peat on the palate with charred smokey BBQ meats.  Sticks to the palate and finishes with fresh shaved cinnamon.

The port wood influence is very light.  The big peat smoke is center stage and likely masks some of the port wood funk that normally distracts me.  

NOSE
Complex nose that starts out with smoked meat (baconish) and burnt rubber. That sounds awful, but it’s not. Let it open, and while it’s a touch medicinal, there are notes of raw sugar, oak, port (of course), vanilla, caramel, butterscotch, hint of citrus and the list could go on and on.

PALATE
Like with the nose the smoke comes on strong, but it is accompanied by a good amount of port sweetness, but not the port flavor. That sits a bit more in the back behind an overall saltiness to it that reminds me of a smoked cured ham. Underneath that savory smoke is a whole bouquet of dark fruit (grapes, strawberries and sugared plums), vanilla, cinnamon, a bit of cardamom and again it just keeps going. It’s like the giving tree of flavor… just wish there was a bit more port.

FINISH
Smoke, wood, port, and iodine slowly move to a velvety sweet smoke on a long finish.

Love this whisky so much.
