Yum!!  An antiseptic and smokey nose, with some kind of varnish.  The palate is delicious -- very smokey smoke, mildly sweet, with some cigar/tobacco flavors, and incredibly drinkable for something so peated.  Finish is medium-length and continues the theme.  As compared to its counterpart (#2), the smoke here is more earthy and peaty.  The youth shows through, allowing some fire to seep in, but also a rush of rich smoke/phenol/earth related flavors.  Tasty smoke in a glass, with strong antiseptic qualities.  I really like it.

N: Wild and gamy, with cured meat, peppers, and sausage.
P: Well that's nice!  Peat is nicely balanced with the red fruitiness.
F: Very long.
