Description

Nose : Nice smoky salty nose.  Some lemons, apples, and peaches as well. Reminds me of Port Charlotte.
Palate : Medium very creamy mouthfeel. Sweet with vanilla, apples, and lemon meringue pie. Brine and gentle smoke.
Finish : Medium short finish. The gentle smoke comes in stronger with time. It also gets more medicinal, reminding me more of Laphroaig on the finish than Port Charlotte. A good amount of black pepper spice as well. The lemons carry through.
