Tasting Notes
"Of the 3 releases, this one is the most peaty, both in nose and palate. Briny peat smoke curls around earthy aromas of dark chocolate and roasted cashews. The palate gives off flavors of applewood smoked bacon, burning seaweed, lemon curd and roasted barley cereal (or kasha). The finish is a bit abrupt, but it has a lasting puff of smoke. "
