Aromas of briny peat, grilled steak with black pepper, smooth cashew butter... hint of licorice? Smoked citrus on the palate, sharp caramel, sweet oak spices. Finish is earthy, mineral, a light floral carrot note lingers... Slightly ragged and not as sherried as I expected (this ain't no Lagavulin) but very satisfying. Gramercy to the chivalrous Pranay for the sample! Dry glass: the sweet wood-stove smoke and somewhat musty basement of my childhood home.
