Tasting Notes
"Sweet mesquite BBQ smoke, orange peel, and mulled wine spices entice the nose. Though heavily peated, the sweet and not-too-rubbery smoke element integrates with other flavors of earthy and spicy orange pekoe tea, tangy lemon curd, toasted oak, and toffee. The finish is long, with a sweet-smoky-tangy fizzling on the back of the tongue. "
