Nose
Lemon grass. Lemon rind. Palate
Very light, but firm and dry. Sherbety. Lemony. Peppery. Some pepperminty sweetness. Finish
Papery. Sticky. Fruity. Hot. Comment
Flavoursome for a grain, but neither especially clean nor well rounded.
Doug McIvor
Nose
Gentle oaky herby floral traits, hints of caramel, raisins and reminiscent of plastic paddling pools. Palate
Delicate, sweet to dry peppery swing. Sweet and sour grain. Finish
Dryish, the grain teases against some salty extremes. Comment
Charming but unemphatic. The nose promises more than delivers.
