Nosing: Medizinischer Rauch Schinken Grapefruit slight deep Süße Salz Grüner Apfel peat

Taste: Schinken Sherry Medizinischer Rauch Zitrus Tabak Zimt

Finish: long peat Medizinischer Rauch Tabak Minze

Comment: I can't believe the refinement my palate has been through in the last year, opening the door to more and more peat monsters and they are growing on me. Solid 4/5. Couldn't quite pick out all the deeper complexities last time.
