Pa-tow!!! Can you say Manzanilla?? I barely can, but I sure can smell and taste it. This guy is BIG on marine brine, acidity, and dryness. The nose is a beach campfire balance of peat, smoke, and sweetness. Oh my, the palate is glorious. You see, my wife will only make me a black forest cake for my birthday, and this is that in a glass. The finish has pepper, caramel, even more smoke, but dry. Expensive as hell now because it's from 2013, but I am still glad I tracked it down. It's time like these where I wish I had a "replicator". The theme of this dram should be something classy, like "My Way" by Frank Sinatra. Solid 5.0 all the way around.
