Wonderful stuff.
Nose is heavy on banana, sugar, graham cracker. Smells like a banana cream pie or bananas foster. I don’t get much peat here.
Palate has peat and smoke, though it’s balanced nicely with the sweetness. Not very fruity. Earth, old leather, and oak.
Finish starts sweet with more banana and rum, though it quickly fades. Not much burn. Heard described as a dusting of dark chocolate and I highly agree.
Very much recommend.
