Member Ratings and Notes
Sku
 
Nose:  Sweet and fruity (pears) with underlying peat.
Palate:  Sweet and syrupy, then the peat emerges and builds toward the finish.
Finish:  Relatively brief with light peat smoke. 

Fairly well balanced and quite drinkable.

Nose of charcoal briquettes with a dash of starter fluid. Palate is very big yummy smoke and ash, some hickory BBQ, with a tangy quality. Yum!  Doesn't leave me with a lot to say, but it's big and peaty and good.  B+/A-

N: pool equipment locker near the beach

P: ashes and gasoline. Sweet butterscotch.  So thin!    Wintergreen finish

 
Fuji
 

Lots of maltiness, buttered biscuits.  Mostly tart and citrus.
