The nose initially presents a floral sweetness with some butterscotch or toffee. Then the peat smoke rolls in, which presents as an ashy smoke. The smoke compliments and offsets the sweetness in a very pleasant way. Finally hidden underneath is bit of fresh leather and sweet pipe tobacco. On the palate the sweet and ashy smoke layer is prevalent up front. Followed by more of a dark toffee note than the nose would lead you to believe. There is a salty thread throughout that brings a needed balance like sea salt on caramel. Stewed raisins and cooked honey intertwine with smoked paprika and present a nice light to medium spiciness. The spice of the palate fades into an oaky finish with a light smokiness that leans more toward charred wood. The sweetness lingers along as a scorched chocolate leaving you wanting another sip.
