Very interesting blend. If you don't like smokey at all, you won't like this. If you want to like smokey but don't yet, I think this is actually a really great place to start - it comes on very strong but then mellows out a ton on the finish. Personally enjoy it with with a cube or two to draw out the fade on the smoke and charcoal. Also - uh, distiller, I think you need to re-review this one. What's up there now is pretty pathetic and 81 is awfully harsh for something this unique.
