Tasting Notes
"The aroma shows sweet, smoldering smoke, nutty malt, and cigar ash. At cask strength, there's some heat here, but after that subsidizes you'll find chocolate cream, pear, and toffee along with some coconut flakes. Peat flavors have a mossy, herbal note to them but there's still a malty sweetness to the center that ties everything together. Finish is moderately long and bittersweet. "
