An amazing dram. Smokey and leathery nose. Could smell some herbs as well. Has smoky barbecue nature to it. On the tongue, initially, it had a powerful taste, Avery smoky mouth feel. Tasted like campfire and woody and a hint of bitters. My preferred way to sip this is with two drops of water. It really opens up and turn into a sweet barbeque, yet smokey experience, like candied bacon. The bitters vanish.
