This goes on sale December 20th at 6 p.m. EST.
The fermented, toasty Italian dark fired Kentucky provides a wealth of herbs, smoke, earth, wood, fragrant floralness, peaty vegetation, spice, tangy mesquite, cigar, tart citrus, sourness some nuts, acidic vinegar and cocoa as the lead component. Not far behind it is the American dark fired Kentucky, which offers an abundance of smoke, spice, earth, wood, sweet barbecue, floralness, vegetative grass, peat, some herbs, bitter sourness, mild nuttiness, and a little vinegar. It’s strong and full in all aspects. It won’t bite or get harsh, but i does have some rough notes. The mildly moist flakes need no dry time. Deeply rich and savory, it burns cool, clean and slow with a very consistent tart and tangy sweet and bitterly sour, spicy, smokey, floral, herbal, mesquite flavor that extends to the long lasting, pleasant after taste. The room note is very pungent. Leaves little dampness in the bowl, and requires a few more than an average number of relights. It’s definitely not an all day smoke, but it is repeatable. I recommend a small to no more than a medium size bowl. Four stars out of four.
