Nose. Peaty smoke with salty, smoky bacon and caramel. Palate. More peat and bacon, but this time with medicinal and menthol notes. Finish. Long, beautifully peppery and spicy, salt and smokiness.

Nose: smells like a campfire going out, salt water (reminds me of being near the ocean), and cooked bacon. Taste: sweet initial honey taste, bbq, a bit of hot spice, and a chocolate note. I had reservations buying this one, but glad I did.
