Nose
big hints of cured meats and Cuban cigars, with menthol and hints of pu-erh tea. Tarry ropes. Dried cranberries, burnt raisins and hints of cherry jam in the background. Some herbal / floral notes and graphite as well. It's smoky but so far the peat is not putting its foot down.
Palate
now more tarry, with a peppery arrival developing into medicinal notes and slightly bitter herbs. Barbecued bacon. Salty liquorice, dark coffee, walnuts. Mid-palate I get a fruity sourness (cranberries again, maybe dark plums) but it struggles to get out. Then back to cough syrup, eucalyptus and burnt wood. Nothing dirty here, but not exactly easy drinking either.
Finish
long, earthy and peppery, with some syrupy forest fruits and herbal tea. Dry walnut notes in the end.
