Tasting Notes

"You can almost smell of the viscosity of the spirit, with its sulfurous qualities and charbroiled meats on an herbaceous and salt-tinged nose, with menthol and BBQ smoke. The phenols pop on an oily palate, with coal, dried peat bricks, tar and iodine, as well as cinnamon Red Hots, vanilla, and a few drops of brine. The smoke keeps smoldering on the finish, with tannic oak, cigar ash, incense and black pepper."
