A travel retail exclusive from my good new friend Paul. Awesome sauce! I can smell an abundant amount of oily fruit in there. Nice, there is even a slight amount of peat on the nose too, with a beach campfire (S'mores with milk chocolate.. oh yes). Ride with me here down to the palate. At 43%, we are going to Neatland. It has a surprisingly thick medium mouth coat, along with a blast of peaches and cream, smoke, iodine, nectarines, and sulfur. The finish brings the sulfur into a rhubarb pie with a bitter fruity coda. Wow, not what I was expecting from such a low ABV. All I can think of are "taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnngerines", so the theme of this dram is, without a doubt, "She Don't Use Jelly" by The Flaming Lips. Oh yes, it exceeded my expectations with a 4.25, my friends.
