Tasting Notes
Nose
Peat, no doubt peat. Not in campfire smoky, overpowering smell kind of way though. Beyond that there is some vanilla, raisin, honey and lighter floral notes here.
Palate
Bring on the peat. Again not in an overpowering way though. That being said, it is the major note and you could probably open this up with water a bit of you like. As it wanders my mouth apple, vanilla, a hint of oak, some minor spice, honey and maple kick around in a beautiful harmony. Finish is light and ethereal, fading into a pleasant, slightly smoky twilight that haunts me.
