80
- Nose
- Nutty, fresh and lively. A delicate touch of wild rose pops up before being submerged by liquorice and vanilla toffee. Quite tickling. Water releases more sweet toffee notes.
- Palate
- Smoother than expected at first then bursting out. Tangy mouthfeel. Not unpleasant though. Barley sugar. Gripping oak in the end.
- Finish
- Dry, oaky. Liquorice and nuts.
- Comment
- A warm character, just a little too assertive when it comes to oak but so uplifting.
75
- Nose
- Soft and warming. Ripe apples. Some pear notes. Hints at brownies with mango tartness balancing.
- Palate
- Sharp with slightly earthy background. Late solid cereals.
- Finish
- Firm, becomes creamy, with some hints of acetone and phenol(?).
- Comment
- Curious balance of firm earthiness and acidity.
