Cracked open a bottle of the stuff last night to, uh, prep for St. Patrick's day. New bottle, but multiple drams.Nose: Rich, creamy vanilla, and some sweet brown spices (cardamom, cinnamon, all-spice)…
Gift sample from a friendNose: Oh, very rich. "L" something peat, though the sherry is a little light. The peat is typical tarry bog, and the sherry brings it to a mesquite dry bbq without being overly…
