It has a very strange nose - both boomimg smoke and deep sweetness think pork belly more than bacon. It's right on the edge of fascinating and disgusting. When I started the bottle and poured the first dram several months ago I thought I had made a mistake. The sea and brine - the smoke - is there in spades, but so are the sweet rich sherry 'dark berry' flavors - the whole thing is oily and coats everything. The scent is strong enough to be caught in passing through the room. Is this the strangest edge of scotch-land?
