85
- Nose
- Pink Germolene, sultana and nutmeg cookies, burning wet wood, orange juice.
- Palate
- A thick and juicy texture, sweet and spicy with plenty of peat in between.
- Finish
- Tea tree and sweet woodsmoke.
- Comment
- Another region-buster and a good one too.
80
- Nose
- Sugary and unmistakably phenolic. School woodwork room aromas of pine resin and glue.
- Palate
- Sawdust. Charcoal. Smoky wood fires. Sweet and then bitter. A sneeze inducing pepperiness. Pleasant smoke, liquorice. Clean.
- Finish
- Oily, and less phenolic than the nose would suggest. Appetising smoke.
- Comment
- Utterly confused here, I thought I was on Speyside.
