Mine came from a 59% abv batch, I believe 2021, though that part of the label is torn. Really complex nose, peaty, but I wouldn’t call it peat forward. Also there are crème brûlée, smoke, stewed pears, vanilla custard, eucalyptus, oak, and black cherry and dark figgy fruits. On the palate it’s smoky and sweet, with toasted caramel, pecan pie, oak, very mild peat, cinnamon and figs. It’s also surprisingly smooth for the proof. Smoky, spicy barrel char finish.
