NOSE: peat, menthol (Vick's), citrus, ocean breeze; softer than the 10
TASTE: chocolate, peat, warm, campfire smoke; the sweetness (moderate) balances nicely with the peat; reminds me of a smore
FINISH: smooth chocolate, toffee, more peat smoke, malt; lingers nicely
Not as briney as the 10. Definitely sweeter, but not too sweet. Also, didn't find it as peaty as the 10. Could be because of the sweetness combo. Was very intrigued by the menthol mintiness of the nose.
