Extraordinary,
Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

The first sniff evokes the idea of burned bubblegum, though this doesn't fully capture the spectrum of peat-derived aromas here. Hickory smoke, pine resin, and iodine stand front and center against a background of red fruit, toffee, and dried citrus.
