Color: Amber

Drank: Neat, in a glencairn.

Nose: Caramel and smoke, with hints of oak char, earthy grass, and grains.

Mouthfeel: Thin

Palate/Taste: Slight peat smoke, lemon tart, baked bread, pepper, and oak.

Finish: Under medium in length with a slight warmth, lingering smoke and caramel grains.

Thoughts: This was certainly smokier than the regular black label, but I’d rate it the same. Different, profile, but of equal quality.

Score: 76 out of 100
