Overall, this is a good blend without too much peat (not a big fan of when it seems to be overloaded) and the clay jug is pretty cool too have in your collection as well.
Super sweet caramel, maple syrup flavor. Then finishes with an unexpected peat smoke.
Subtle butterscotch on the nose. Light fruit on the palate.
