REVIEW:
- Rating: 4
- Nose: Rich and smoky-but-smooth peat, interlaced with spice and dark rum.
- Palate: Full-bodied with intricate sweet and salty flavors balanced by peaty smoke, maltiness, and a long black-peppery finish. Very complex with multiple layers of flavor.
- Finish: Long, elegant, and warming with the spice, black pepper, and peat remaining long after the swallow.
