Rich stewed fruit, sherry and honey sweetness enveloped by a subdued version of the 10 year's medicinal briny peat. At 48% it's got a bit of a bite to it and unfortunately, like the 10 year, it hits mid palate acidic and dry. The sweetness almost prevents this from lingering as it fades to a sweet campfire smoke finish. I appreciate the sherried finish but it feels like a bit of failed merger. Neither the sherry or the peat is distinct enough to overcome the acidity and ABV. Decent but not one I'd purchase again. $90 in Ontario.
