This is crazy unique and also crazy good. I'm really enjoying how the peat here is presented - very prominent and different from other big peat bombs. The sherry plays along very very well and makes the dram thick, rich and syrupy.

House Review

Nose:
Dirt, sherry, fruit, plum, forest fire, very mineral heavy and oddly field like (more grassy than floral)
Taste:
Oily mouth feel and instantly smokey. Kind of an oatmeal note. Sherry is very prominent with fig, date, plum. Apples, raspberry jam. Burning things - very mineral heavy and very woody. Not ashy but a very strong forest note with wood and smoke and herbal grassy peat. Like a goddamn forest fire. This is really something else
Finish:
Long, thick and rich. full of smoke but also well blended with the added complexity of the sherry.
Overall:
This is crazy unique and also crazy good. I'm really enjoying how the peat here is presented - very prominent and different from other big peat bombs. The sherry plays along very very well and makes the dram thick, rich and syrupy. All in all, I'm a fan. I'm giving this a Rank 7 and I'm now feeling an urge to pick up a bottle.
