Demetria Flores 4.5

Pleasant peat with honey notes, a nice peppery taste, and a sweet, salty orange character. A slight chemical note and a lingering finish.

Paulette Tomlin 4.8

Nice smoke with honey, pleasant chemical pepper leather taste, medium aftertaste

Roxanne Mckenna 4.8

Remarkably smooth and velvety, comparable to a 25-year-old Lagavulin.
