Not An Alcoholic

Smells very strongly of earthy smoky wood. Like the smell of campfire. And that little sherry glass is releasing so much smell. In the mouth its sweeter and smoother than I was expecting, with lots of deep rich smoke notes. Rich smoke gives almost to a soft grass note. 9/10 @MuteddR6  Requested Lagavulin 16. I was unable to get a bottle of Lagavulin, but this is also a single malt long aged scotch, from the south part of Islay, with a similar peat smoking method I keep sipping, I'm getting a mineral note, almost like a smoked salt. But it's not like, acrid, or palate desiccating or anything, it's really well structured around the smoke. I can see myself sipping a glass on a cold winter night.

I get a white wine note from the nose, also maybe an apricot smell, some sort of soft non-citrus fruit. Smooth in the mouth, malty, warm, bits of baking spice, other grain notes, it's sweet, its very well rounded. Good to sip. Probably my favorite whiskey I've had. 9.2/10
