The nose has sherry, sulfur, prunes and Dr. Pepper. The palate opens with peat and motor fuel (like a mechanic shop), the moves to sweet sherry with a touch of sulfur and tons of fruit. This has a great, long finish with dried fruit fading to sherry.

A huge, funky flavor bomb.

Nose is fruity and peaty, the fruit comes first, mostly grapefruit. Hints of B.O. That continues into the palate --  Juicyfruity grapefruity palate with smoke, but not the kind of smoke that's particularly earthy. Opens up well too.

NOSE
Dense rich dark fruit, sherry sweetness, grapefruit, vermouth, iodine, sugary sweetness, a bit of musty old bottle effect, ash, malt and the merest touch of peat. The sugary sweetness isn’t like a mass produced candy type of sweetness, more like what you get from a high-end confectionary where the sweetness comes across silken and full.

PALATE
Sherry glides across the palate followed by complex dried fruit, grapefruit juice, citrus peels, vermouth, dark sweetness (molasses like), mustiness and a light dusting of sulfur and ash. I could have used more of the sulfur in there to help add more earthiness for the complex sweetness and citrus to play against and fully round it out. Peat was nowhere to be found even after letting my 3rd glass sit for over an hour to open up.

FINISH
Medium and rich with notes of grapefruit, dried fruit and a dark earthiness that was like wood, but wasn’t what I traditionally attribute to being “wood tones”.

Obscenely good
