Tasting Notes
"The all-American oak profile really shines through here. Sweet beef jerky and coconut flavors mixed with peat smoke hit you on the aroma. Barrel spices are present throughout, especially on the finish. Sweet malt is present, but the other flavors overpower it. Peaty and dry finish; add a few drops of water to soften the dram just a touch. This cask strength is sure to please peat heads, particularly those that are tired of seeing wine finishes."
