Nose
Fresh. Rose-like. Not just one blossom: a hedgerow. Fresh wood. Earthy. Palate
Light but soft. Berry fruits. Cream. Vanilla. Trifle sponge fingers. Finish
Scented. Comment
Complex, delicate, feminine.

Nose
Clean and delicate with light and spicy rye to the fore. Lemongrass. Palate
Lifted, light and delicate. Lots of rye but floats across the palate. Finish
Clean. Medium length. Good balance. Comment
A sassy little glass: the charmer to Booker’s bruiser. A midday Old Fashioned.
