Color: Red harvest moon. Nose: Sweet red cherries and smashed plums. Whispers of charcoal smoke and briny puddles sharpen the nose. Palate: A blast of peat smoke introduces delicious sweet and savory flavors. Smoked meats recall sizzling smoke fat. Fruit notes are rich and sweet. Finish: Bright medicinal sting and the sea spray of Islay peat. Hot, rich, and thick. Diluted: BBQ ribs and thick bacon shine on a mellower, meatier nose. Palate becomes a little tarter and fruitier, without losing any of its juice. Finish is silkier and subtler, with softer smoke.
