Tasting Notes
Old Gowrie delivers the rich natural sweetness of matured Virginias, deepened by the earthy character of Kentucky and given a gentle lift by a touch of spicy Perique. Pressed and cut into a broken flake, it smokes cool and steady, developing complexity as the bowl progresses. Expect notes of bread, hay, dark fruit, and a subtle peppery spice, all woven into a smooth, balanced smoke.

Lovely mellow but full tasting
I very much enjoyed this blend - it needs some rolling out before smoking, though it could be stuffed into the bowl as is. I just prefer to rub it out, as that's my preference. It's a rich, creamy traditional type taste with maybe a medium nic strength. I liked it and will buy more.
