House Review
Nose:
Rich, vegetal peat. Honey, butter, toffee, caramel and earthy pepper. Faint chemical notes.
Taste:
Medium thickness, some heat, vegetal peat and sweet sugar. Fruity but more earthy than fruity. Mineralogy with some faint sherry character.
Finish:
Long, with some heat. Earthy bandages, nice proof and smokiness.
Overall:
Powerful, enticing, savory and an all around pleasure to enjoy.
