Nose is fruity with a hint of acetone. Palette starts off with the acetone flavor, but quickly transitions to smoke and charcoal with just the slightest hint of sweetness. Finish is slightly bitter but surprisingly smooth.
Very nice and well balanced. Some peat and slightly rich on the pallet. Hints of sweetness. Nothing overwhelming. Sort of seems they played it safe so as no one could find anything objectionable.
Peated but smoother than expected. Still with a moderate spicy aftertaste I like it. Hints of fruit if swirled in mouth. Fruity flavors comes out a little more with water
Fruity on the nose but a string alcoholic scent underneath. Taste is of strong char (think of how a briquette smells) with a slightly bitter but smooth finish.
A bit medicinal, but very nice with a splash of water. The smoke is smooth, very fruity, balanced flavors, sweet notes.
Cherry pie on the nose. Warm, vanilla, and slightly spicy pallette. A hint of fruitiness in the finish.
