- Excerpt: The palate has a sweet arrival too (cherry syrup), followed by intense peat smoke and even a bit of iodine. Great cask strength peat bomb on a budget.

Nose:
Sweet creamy lemon zest. Pepper. Mild trace of brine. Overall, very sweet and peppery. Like a peaty lemon dessert. Mmmm

Taste:
Sweet and peppery. Good bit of peat influence melding nice with lots of vanilla cream. Really quite fruity. Some nice brine in there also.
-
Finish:
Long, and surprisingly complex. Theres a little heat, but its mostly sweet, salty and peppery.
