Woah! I feel I should preface this review by stating that I really like whisky – especially smokey, peaty whisky. So when I opened the packet the first thing I thought was WHISKY!
This really does smell like a campfire when you open it – lots of smoke and peat smell right up front. Brewed, the liquor still smells smokey with an undertone of rich black tea. A few sips in and I can taste a bit of sweetness and there’s a bite at the back of my throat. This honestly feels like sitting in the woods around a big campfire, and that is what you are drinking. The wood, the smoke, a bit of earth.
I think I may need to try more lapsang souchongs!

That sounds right up my alley!
I ended up only drinking about 1/3 of the cup because the smoke flavor was so strong, but shockingly Rayn downed the rest even though he 1) doesn’t usually like black tea and 2) doesn’t like whisky. shrug
The smoke flavor of Lapsang is usually too strong for me..
