Boy have I been waiting to taste this, it’s reputation proceeds it. This has a tough nose on it; I can only describe it as smoke billowing over the ocean. On the first sip it bites hard but more because the fire taste associated with it, not for the proof. As you work through the flavors, it replicates smoking a cigar with the mossy tobacco sitting heavily on the tongue, and you almost feel as if you could puff a couple rings out. Overall, I simply really enjoy this stuff, closest to a 5 star I have gotten on a scotch.
