Taste:
Finish:
Comment: Full oily mouthfeel.
Taste: A spicy hit changing to dark chocolate and then a medium level peaty smokiness (campfire) with malt - (adding water seems to take the smoke away and reveal the sherry like fruits underneath).
Finish: Long chalky smoky finish with hints of orange Turkish delight and menthol lingering.
Comment: Nice.
