Nose - A little of everything, with that magic peat of course. Not nearly as much smoke as the Oogie, but I definitely get the cherries, the TCP/iodine. This one is at 57%, so just a wee little few drops of water will definitely do. If you don't mind the alcohol burn down the esophagus, it is VERY pleasant neat as well, but I want a smoother dram this time. Palate - very similar to what I get on the nose, but add in the brine, the seaweed, and ... what is that? Oh my, CALIENTE! Peppers out the ying-yang... chilis.. white pepper, black pepper.. "He's an pepper, she's a pepper, wouldn't ya like to be a pepper too?" Heh, old Dr. Pepper soft drink advert. Anyway, oooh nice finish, but a little dryer than I like usually, probably from all the heat. BUT, I am not complaining one bit. Some people like this more than the Oogie and vice versa. I have to say that I like both equally, and it just depends on the mood if you want a lot of smoke or not.
