Nose: Wow, weird! Cooked strawberries? Rotten rum? Definitely peated and definitely fruity. A big, bad confusing stew of earth and sweet, cooked red fruits. This is sure to be a polarizing whisky at your next tasting with friends.
Palate: The port and the peat haven't quite married together, making for a disjunct experience, but it's huge, flavorful, and IMHO fun.
Final Thoughts: Definitely disjunct, definitely weird, but definitely high quality and I definitely liked it. Great stuff.
