- Nose
- Grassy. Freshly cut grass including a bunch of garden mint. Turf. Malt flour. Alcohol tickles. A hint of smoke.
- Palate
- Sweet maltiness. Hay loft. Wild chervil. A spicy burst at mid-palate.
- Finish
- Dry, very spicy. Chilli.
- Comment
- A sunny malt. Quite sharp and spirity but a pleasant aromatic freshness. Could be a thirst quenching for some. Water does not cut all edges.
77
- Nose
- Neat there's apple skin, some earthy smokiness and a slightly musty wood. Hay. Water brings out peat which grows in intensity. Pretty tense.
- Palate
- Highly aromatic and zesty with apple blossom then the smoke begins to drift through. Shows very good balance when water is added. Cayenne. Appetising. Just entering maturity.
- Finish
- Lightly nutty.
- Comment
- Drink over ice.
