Peanut

What It Actually Smells or Tastes Like

A more savory, roasted nut note -- distinct from the sweeter pecan and almond notes nearby, closer to roasted peanuts than a dessert nut flavor.

How to Recognize It

Less common than pecan or almond; look for it in pours that lean more savory and oak-forward than sweet.
