Aroma: “Peat smoke phenols, tobacco, alcohol, like a good Islay scotch whiskey with caramel, burnt sugar, and chocolate.”

Flavor: “Oak and wood is strong through the flavor. The bourbon sits in the back. Some smoke. Dark fruits—dried cherries, figs, plums. Light in the body for a wee heavy, but stilll captures the expected malt flavors. Some burnt sugar and caramel malt, with a distinctive dry woodsy finish.”

Overall: “Definitely dials up the smoke character for the style, but it’s not overwhelming and adds a distinctive character that pairs well with the rest of the beer. Like brilliant Scotch Whisky.”
