Unapologetically smokey, with notes of earl grey, lemon-soaked oak, cinnamon, sherry, and grass (seaweed?) hiding behind the dense billow. It goes from sweet to dry, then a barely noticeable astringency develops into the finish, which is followed by more peat smoke leaving you to wonder how you managed to taste anything else. The archetypal fall dram.
