Member Ratings and Notes

Chris

N: Apple, smoke, and peat, a little hint of bacon fat.
P: Super sweet, delicious smokiness, almost creamy in texture.
F: Follows through on the finish, sweet and peat, peat and sweet.

I don't get a lot from the nose -- white wine and smoke mostly. The palate is tasty -- mostly smoke with distinct but not overwhelming sweetness -- and spice, along with brine. Finishes at length, with salt lingering for a while. Though the proof is high, this tastes fine to me at full strength, though there is some challenging heat (that I enjoy). A little water tames the flames, heightens the sweetness, but also flattens out some of the other dimensions -- I think I prefer it undiluted. A tasty one, either way. B+/A-

Blind:

N: Warm syrup, nutty, wet hay, peat and wood shavings

P: Briney with citrus and toasted bread

F: Black licorice with the bitterness sticking to the back of your tongue. Just a bit hot but very yummy!
