Tasting note
Nose: Heavily peated, for sure. But also earthy, red wine notes, bordering on dunnage warehouse with a whiff of well-worn Wellingtons.
Taste: Full bodied and rather sweet and dry. Heavy on the earthy wood smoke. White pepper. Vanilla and dark caramel. Overall earthy and dry.
Finish: Medium long finish. In the end red wine tannins and oaky astringency.
