    • Nose
      Incredibly clean and crisp. This is said to be a Lagavulin, and I can see why. Ripe banana, lemon rasp and sweet marzipan go hand in hand with fresh peat, wood smoke, bandages and just a hint of beeswax and menthol. Wonderful balance.
    • Taste
      Mouth-coating, which is of course a plus. Sweet at first, before spices take the lead. Mainly cracked black peppercorns, but also a whisper of cinnamon. Of course there's plenty here for peat heads as well, like (of course) peat, ashes and charcoal. There's also room for charred lemon skin and bitter grapefruit.
    • Finish
      Lingering on citrus and dark notes of peat and ashes for a long time.
