Tasting Notes
"This is like a sweet smoky chewing candy. The nose displays earthy peat, honey, mulled wine, and spiced dark chocolate. The palate gives you the sweet creamy center right away which goes quite well with more honey. Next the outer layers reveal themselves with tropical fruit and chewy peat. The finish has lovely smoked spices, though they trail off quickly. Like a lot of candy this is a little short-lived but leaves you wanting another."
