smoky flavor

Grilled meat essence

A smoky flavor is the taste associated with smoke from burning wood, charcoal, or other materials.

Foods acquire it through smoking, grilling, or roasting, or from ingredients like smoked paprika, chipotle peppers, or liquid smoke.

The term describes everything from barbecued meats to certain whiskeys: The brisket had a deep smoky flavor from twelve hours in the pit.
