N - fall spice, tobacco, slight vanilla T- a meaty bbq smoke, wood spice, dark chocolate and some cherry sweetness F - a bit astringent, dry leather and lingering smoke So glad my home state Arizona is coming out with a smokey single malt like this. Does really give you a desert campfire feel. Less salty and earthy than Scotland peat but still packs a smokey tobacco punch. If you can get ahold of it, it is certainly something unique to try.
