The peat is noticeable throughout, so you likely need to be a fan of some smoke to enjoy this one. In the nose, the apples and pears are up front, with the peat more subtle, and in the background. However, it becomes progressively more noticeable through the sip, becoming dominant in the long finish, where it is joined by some spice and barrel char, with lingering fruit. After that first sip, the peat in the nose has given up its back row seat and moved more to the front as well.
