It smells rich and meaty with plenty of smoke and meat and salt. The palate is not as rich as expected but it is quite smooth. Unfortunately, there is that awful combination of mineral and whatever else that produces gross bread. This is not enjoyable to drink. The nose is a bit like jerky but he body is less palatable. There is a hint of barbeque sauce hidden in here with a balance of sweet, tart, salty, and savory. The flavor is also just not rich enough. I much prefer the regular Longrow. There is something nice and creamy in here but the smoke and peat are definitely too much since they create that gross bread flavor. It has just the right amount of spice and the cream suggests oiliness. It's kind of rich but not terribly so and the rest of the flavors are kind of there across the board in a way that is balances and makes it a bit richer, but not in a way that makes it terribly complex. The bit of creme brulee is really the saving grace that is so delicious that it raises this up a few points. I could sip this, but it is severely disappointing for the price.
