Tastes

Bitter citrus peel flavor. Lightly smoky with a little sweetness and spice behind it.

Smells sweet and dark like caramelized butterscotch. Tastes really deep and spicy. Very warming. Roasted apples and nuts, full bodied.

Smells sweet like toasted waffle cones and brown butter. It is really smooth and does not taste too sweet. Lightly spicy. Maybe a little fruity?

Fresh smell like lemongrass or something green, hay. Also has a light taste of hay. It has a lot of heat up front, and smelling it burns my nose. But it dissipates quickly. I think it mellows well and gets a little sweeter with water. I’d probably prefer it with water always, which is rare for me… 3 without h2o, 4 with h2o.

A lot of heat up front. Mellows out and sticks around for a pleasant moment, but is still pretty simple. I’d mix it before drinking it alone but it’s palatable either way.

The color is really light and the aroma is bright and vibrant in spite of the obvious peat. I smell sweetness, like vanilla or honey, but not in an overwhelming way. It is fresh, like ripe citrus and lightly toasted barley. All of this strikes a really nice balance without any sacrificing any one quality. The taste is equally balanced. It is sweet, but not syrupy, and the peat brings comes in with a bit of a sour note that cuts through the sugars. The most feel is rich but the citrus keeps it from being heavy. I can see drinking this at any time, but it makes me think of spring and fall.

It has a really simple aroma. The taste is soft and herbal. It’s pretty simple. I probably wouldn’t seek it out again but it would be a nice summer mixer or something to complement stronger flavors.

Smells like burnt caramel and wood. Like wood chips through a saw. There’s a citrusy floral note to the taste. A lot of fruit. Easy to drink.

Smells sweet but isn’t overly so in taste. It’s smooth with a little bitter/salty finish. It’s pretty good and definitely has a place.

Smells sweet, very warm, a little simple. Easy to drink. Mixer?
