Peterson Irish Mixture Pipe Tobacco 050g (Tin)

This is the last of the aromatics that I’m going to test for this blog and I’ve got to say I was a little disappointed. I’m not saying this is a bad blend, as I thoroughly enjoyed smoking several bowls of it yesterday afternoon. My main issue with it is that the whiskey taste is very indistinct and I dare say I may not have even identified it as a whiskey blend, had I been smoking it under blind testing conditions. I’m always of the opinion that even less popular/good blends still have some good characteristics (more on that soon!) and this is still the case with this blend; It is a very pleasant and light blend, that can easily be smoked all day without destroying your palate, but if you’ve gone in expecting a whiskey flavour, you may be disappointed.
