56.3% ABV | Batch #007 bottled in January 2015 Nose - Intense medicinal campfire smoke, salt/brine, hint of asphalt and melted rubber, hint of a syrupy-sweet, herbal/bark/root cough syrup. Taste - Again, intense campfire smoke, black pepper spice, salty/briny dried kelp/seaweed, hint of vanilla/caramel sweetness. Tastes like this was aged in ex-bourbon barrels. Finish - Warm lingering campfire smoke, slight szechuan peppercorn tingle/burn on the tongue, but could be from the proof. Mixed with the peaty campfire smoke is this faint lingering herbal medicine cough syrup sweetness. Score - 70/100 Final Thoughts - I found this bottle to be better than the Lagavulin 16 in that I didn't get the cigarette ash nor the level of saltiness I got from the Lagavulin. There was a bit of brine and seaweed, but it was toned back a bit (possibly hidden in the proof?). It was definitely less meaty/savory but to me it was more pleasing as it reminded me of being by a campfire on a fall day. This feels like a dram I could have every once in a while if I'm really in the mood for it.
