Color: Sunny rose gold. Nose: Nutty Oloroso shines through light earthy peat. Whiffs of classic Speyside orchard blossoms as well. Palate: Thick, hazy peat smoke jumps right out. Complementing it is a fruity malt smoothness, accented with a pleasant bitterness, like cacao seeds or espresso. Finish: More of the bitter notes, with dark chocolate and maybe even a little black licorice cut with smooth banana. Diluted: Singed wildflowers and dry honeycomb on the nose. Campfire smore made with ruby chocolate comes alive on the palate. More richness emerges on the finish -- bananas become bananas foster.
