Where this really shines is the nose. I get a lot of sweet grassy/hay qualities, like you might smell after rain. There is orange but not the acidic tartness. Think mandarins/clementines, followed by black cherries. What peat is there is faint like oiled wood, rather than a bonfire. Sweet on the palate, but not cloying. Some juniper/evergreen botanical flavors, subtle salty tang, cherry and pineapple, and a mild vegetal peat. Mild finish with the sherry barrel notes coming through. This is delicious and near perfect. but I have to ding it a few notches as the cost has crept up to $120-130 in my neck of the woods. But is beautifully balanced.
