Tasting Notes
"Fruity aromas such as figs and orange marmalade flood your senses, but there is a soy sauce and nutty profile as well. The palate has a rich malty character and almost a mushroom umami quality. That said, the flavors work surprisingly well and are tied together with a dark caramel and coffee-cake background. Peat smoke is mild throughout and the finish is on the dry side of life."
