Aroma: Roasted ham, salt air, peat smoke, apple, and pear. Flavor: Peat smoke in salty ocean air, mild white pepper, & some pear. Taking a quicksip & swallowing, so it simply splashes over the tongue, has an almost caramel after-taste. Have to admit this reminds me of Laphroaig with the smokey peat flavor. Tasting based on neat sipping.
