Nose- Herbal/ vegetal note, black sharpie, sweet honey, peat smoke, sea salt
Palate- Malty barnyard notes initially, wave of peat smoke, wood spice, sour berries, ashes
Finish- Long, viscous finish with notes of heavy peat, sour berries, and sweet honey
This is interesting. Not nearly as good as the 10 year Octomore that I’ve tried, but still good nonetheless. Surprisingly not much peat on the nose. I’m getting mainly earthy barnyard and herbal notes, with an odd smell of a black sharpie. The palate, on the other hand, is filled with peat smoke. Notes of honey and sour berries balance the smoke out, but I can’t get past this black sharpie note. The finish is a good one, with the sharpie drifting away, and giving way to peat smoke, sour berries, and honey.
