Reviewed January 21, 2020 (edited January 24, 2020)Smells peaty but with a sweetness that blends wonderfully. The flavors are magnificent. Peat, with a healthy tail that let's the peat and sweetness blend together. I feel I can't get the flavors fully because I've been eating black pepper. But it tastes like a slightly unbalanced talisker 10.The Barrel Thief -

Reviewed January 2, 2020Nose: Dry, ashy peat. Honey, toasted cereal grains. Vegetal and slightly briney. Mint, lemon oil. Black pepper. Palate: Smokey. Peppery. Ash. Vanilla, cream. The proof is absolutely evident - prickly without being off-putting. Oily, which means it hangs out on your palate for days. Finish begins with a burst of peppery ethanol and peat. Slowly the lemon oil and mint come to the fore. Then bananas, honey, dill, and brine. -
