Let's Taste It : 

Mineral peat, thick smoke, maritime freshness. Barrels of fish. Melting plastic. A medicinal touch. On a tuna boat, filled to the brim with wriggling scales. Just beside, a long-haired dog. A slight hint of ashy vanilla sweetens the soup. Coal, petrol, rock. On the palate, bricks of ash and chalk, fierce pepper, vanilla and white fruits, pears, plums, bananas. On the finish, slightly burnt caramel, iodine, vanilla ice cream, quite long. Cola and chestnuts. Tall herbs.

 

In Short, 

Very good, a very vanilla-flavoured, relatively well-balanced 6-year-old Peat Bomb, but it's a little rough anyway, best reserved for die-hard fans.

Score : 88
