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

House Review
  • 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.
