Member Ratings and Notes

Adam

Yum!! An antiseptic and smokey nose, with some kind of varnish. The palate is delicious -- very smokey smoke, mildly sweet, with some cigar/tobacco flavors, and incredibly drinkable for something so peated. Finish is medium-length and continues the theme. As compared to its counterpart (#2), the smoke here is more earthy and peaty. The youth shows through, allowing some fire to seep in, but also a rush of rich smoke/phenol/earth related flavors. Tasty smoke in a glass, with strong antiseptic qualities. I really like it.

Chris

N: Wild and gamy, with cured meat, peppers, and sausage.
P: Well that's nice! Peat is nicely balanced with the red fruitiness.
F: Very long.
