N: Peat with light sherry. Matchsticks, wet hay, and cracked white pepper. Sweetness comes from vanilla and powdered sugar. Complex and very balanced.
P: Rich and full bodied. The sherry has a bigger presence on the palate. Sherry fruits, iodine, BBQ meats, and bitter dark green fruits/ veggies. Bitter licorice with lots of minty eucalyptus.
Oh yeah, this'll do it! The nose on this guy is knock your socks off bold sherry with some apples and a nice whiff of peat to bring it all together. Just as you think it doesn't get any better, the palate drives through chocolate, molasses, honey. Has a relatively thick mouth feel. Not a huge finisher, but it doesn't entirely disappoint, as the flavors continue to be outstanding.
N: Nice, faintly ashy with a soft, rich, but gentle peat. Gently malty as well, sweet on the nose, and some cocoa late.
P: Firm peat, a little heat. Rich red fruit influences, a bit of wood underneath everything, and a touch of chocolate.
F: Heat as it goes down, a hint of chocolate as it all starts.
Very nice - rich mixture of peat and some fruit from the sherry; a little heat keeps it vital and young. The cocoa notes (which as the night went on became more pronounced) were absolutely beautiful.
Light brown color. Sweet nose with a lot of chocolate and some subtle sherry. The palate is really intriguing with a fantastic blend of the elements from the nose plus big smoke and wood elements. Smoke bomb on the way down. Absolutely delicious! A-/A [1/4/13]
