Excited to try this dram. Nose- of course the classic smoke, beef jerky, not as strong as laphroiag, no hint of alcohol burn. I have to get in close to really pull the nose. Rubbery nitrile. Taste- interestingly enough I get wood notes before I get the smoke flavor, coffee grounds, oak, walnut. Lots of dark and heavy flavors here. I can definitely taste the mint chocolate finish. Update: 03/18- I taste nothing but peanut buttery finish. Was surprised by this. Yummy taste. Mouthfeel- medium and waxy, leaves a short burn in the throat. Verdict, I prefer Laphroaig and lagavulin over this. Both give me a end of night dessert feel, this feels a little unfinished. Something I’d drink if I just wanted to drink, but not necessarily sit and give much thought to.
