2016 / 54.2% ABV --- Nose - Sweet fruity, lightly meaty smoke similar to a honey teriyaki smoked pork jerky, hints of candied red berries (w/ water) Smoke is much more subdued, savory sweet, like a lightly smoked Korean kalbi marinade Taste - Sweet & ashy soot, savory sweet smoked meat, light raisin/prune syrupy vibe, light metallic vibe, saline, ginger tingle (w/ water) Less syrupy sweet, ashy savory sweet smoke, saline Finish - Sweet ashy soot, saline, salty sweet smoked meats (w/ water) same Score - 84/100 Final Thoughts - I can sort of see the draw of peated malts more & more. It definitely adds another dimension to the dram and I can actually see this pairing quite well with lots of salty snacks and is like a pork/beef jerky in a glass. It has hints of a sherry cask influence and the saline is a nice touch in that it's present, but not overbearing. I think a bit of water does this good in that it reduces the metallic vibe I get and highlights more of the sweet savory smoke. I don't think this is something I'd regularly reach for, but I can see this being great next to a campfire/bonfire with some savory snacks like beef jerky or some salty chips. Would I drink it if offered? - Maybe Would I specifically order it? - Maybe Would I buy a bottle? - No NOTE - All reviews are done without factoring in price.
