Tasting Notes

Hal O’ the Wynd is a powerful Virginia-based blend, with natural sweetness supported by the earthy richness of Kentucky and a peppery lift from Perique. Pressed and cut into a broken flake, it smokes cool and steady, delivering layers of bread, dark fruit, spice, and woodiness. Its strength builds gradually, rewarding slow smoking with a deeply satisfying complexity.
