My second review and second bottle.
The first one wasnt as good and I gave it 2.75*. Inoffensive smoke and then meh. This one gets almost an entire star more and made me upset I cracked it from the "do not drink" stash.
Rubber, saline, roast beef grease, sangria with extra oranges. More peat AND smoke than the first bottle. They amp the whole bottle up in a way the other did not have. At all, whatsoever. This one is just nice and peaty. Literally perfect rusty nail material. Sips much nicer solo rocks, too. Neat brings out a malty and sweet fruit backbone.
A lot better than my first bottle suggested. Wish I had splurged on more than just two while on vacation! Regular green, while different, is still just a touch nicer than this.
