- Nose
- Very hot nose. Hints at peatiness. Wood ash mixed with freshly sawn timber: it's the shop floor of a cooperage.
- Palate
- Smoky and quite dry. The wood is a little exposed and the spirit is struggling to make itself heard above the cooper's hammers. All that comes out is a sweet spiciness...
- Finish
- ...which continues on the finish.
- Comment
- Lacks balance.
72
- Nose
- Biting. Alcohol teases the nostrils. Nature after a summer rain. Wet straw. Hint of squeezed orange. A slight cardboardy touch.
- Palate
- Sweeter than expected. The cardboard is more distinctive. Almond custard.
- Finish
- Dry, almost dour.
- Comment
- The nose is enticing but the palate rather restrained.
