- This is ok. Nothing bad about it, but it's a hair hot, and also sort of lacking complexity. Could reach higher.

-
Nose:
Honey, musty caramel, big peat and a wet slap of briney smoke. Fungal and very marine.
-
Taste:
Thin to medium mouth feel, although there is some heat. Sweet lemon, honey and a slap of peat smoke. Ashy and fungal. Not much else going on.
-
Finish:
Long, really hot. Punishing hot almost. Lots of peat, smoke, ash and brine. Dead sea stuff.
-
Overall:
This is ok. Nothing bad about it, but it's a hair hot, and also sort of lacking complexity. Could reach higher.
