Paul John Bold

Really like this. Same flavor as the edited with more peat. Couldn’t have too much still given how sweet these are.

Great as it opens up.

Nose: not bonfire or bandaid like usual peat, instead more like smoked bacon, but it has a sweet butterscotch to it as well. End notes slightly spiked with a pepper and citrus. Palate: very surprising. Only light smoke, instead it explodes in a sea of butterscotch sweetness that's followed by flowery citrus spice. The finish carries some of the oak and the smoked bacon, still with some malt sweetness.

Brilliance is still my fav of Paul John, but this will also do

Nice aroma on the open and throughout. Spice, smoke and pineapple notes. Long satisfying finish but not too overpowering.
