Tasting Notes

"Westland's Peat Week release strikes a marvelous balance between smoke and fruit, delivering a heavy dose of both. The peat is immediately evident on the aroma, but the palate also offers plum, caramelized sugar, sea salt, and vanilla. Smoke lingers sweetly on the palate for the finish. This one is extremely limited, but absolutely worth picking up."
