On the nose, intense brine, a meaty note reminiscent of young peated Benriach, lemon, grapefruit pith, vanilla, damp gauze, iodine, and burning tire. On the palate, a solid hit of vanilla, charred chili pepper, pear, citrus fruit, salty barbecued meats, soot, and ash. This is quite good, especially considering it costs under $50. It delivers a significant amount of peat and smoke, satisfying a craving for peat while also incorporating some fruit and vanilla.
