Sniffin a tin of Captain Earle's Private Stock. Trying to name the things it makes me think of and what it smells like.
It's a Lat blend and those are always peat smokey smelling, and so is this, but there's more than that. What is it?
What else am I reminded of here?
Ya, ya...campfires, but what ELSE is there...it's SOMEthing!
I think of mushrooms...I guess they're a natural step away from peat...and then I think of what it is I THINK I smell that rounds this out and provides it an olfactory umami. Yeast. I smell yeast.
There was a little more than a year on the tin.
p.s. maybe you have a similar eureka moment?
