Tasting Notes
"To enjoy this release, one must be a big fan of Lapsang Souchong smoked tea. The nose is filled with aromas of dark cherry, leather, smoked meat, thyme, and mossy sage. The palate is almost overwhelmingly black tea-like, with strong oaky notes, smoked cherrywood, roasted plums. apples roasted over a campfire, and hints of spice. The finish is earthy, slightly smoky and a tad fruity. "
