700ml mlShawn's notes:
Nose: Tary smoke is front and center, rubber, burnt bananas, column still character pokes through the burning oil rags.
Palate: A good mixture of specific peat smoke and general smoke plays with the mind as I expect rum. I've has peated casked rums before, but this one seems to work so much better. More column still molasses character along with notes of starfruit, pears, and a generous hit of wood. Pretty darn cool rum!
