The nose carries a fruity scent with a trace of acetone. The acetone flavor appears first on the palate, but swiftly shifts to smoke and charcoal, with just a faint sweetness. The finish is a little bitter, yet surprisingly mellow.

Pleasant and well-balanced. Exhibits some peat and a slightly rich mouthfeel with hints of sweetness. Nothing is overpowering. It seems they played it safe to avoid any criticism.
Peated but smoother than anticipated. Still possesses a moderate spicy finish that I enjoy. Hints of fruit appear when swirled in the mouth. Fruity flavors become slightly more pronounced with water.
Fruity on the nose, but with an underlying strong alcoholic scent. The taste features strong char (evocative of a briquette's smell) with a slightly bitter yet smooth finish.
Slightly medicinal, but quite pleasant with a little water. The smoke is smooth, very fruity, with balanced flavors and sweet notes.
Cherry pie aroma. The palate is warm, with vanilla and a touch of spice. A faint fruitiness lingers in the finish.
