Tastes

Nose: cesty floral with some malt. Lightly brine peated notes. Palate: initially frothy brine notes. It then moves around the cesty floral "sweetness" before settling back to the brine and the peat showing up. Finish: a nice lingering mix of costal peat smoke and a bit of the citrus cest, then with more of the dry barrel tannins. The palate is definitely more interesting than the nose. As is the finish. All round another good entry into smoke for those that want to tread lightly.

A plesant, subtle dram that's not out to hurt anyone with its rounded, earthy notes complimented by mild baking spices.

Initially brine and smoke one the nose, but then it leans into more zesty citrus and bright notes. Palate continues with the bright zest and fresh citrus fruit, but it's wrapped in brine and campfire smoke much more than the nose, making for a more balanced and full experience. Finish is a good mixture of brine with mild wodden tannins and the citrus.

Nose is thick with hard candy and vanilla frosting, with some citrus floral undertones. Very enjoyable and carries itself like a heavily charred barrel fill. Palate has more of the citrus notes show up in the core, but it's still wrapped in a thick layer of hard candy sweetness and frosting. Finish is more typical mild barrel tannins with some vanilla lingering.

Nose: a lot of sherry influence with earthy notes of musky moss, grass, and bark. Palate: initially sweet and plesant, then the flavour opens up into more sherry notes of baked apple paired with malty cheese funk. Finish: mostly the cheese funk lingering with some barrel spice.

Nose: plenty of oak and a bit of malt funk. Also floral citrus. Palate: very spiky/aggressive with the alcohol burn. But it makes the malt and wood tannins spring to life in the whole mouth. Once it subsides it leaves behind a bit of pastry frosting mixed with the tannins. Finish: the frosting lingers, almost like a pot stil Irish with its sweet shortbread.
