70
- Nose
- Savlon, pizza dough and red apples. Spray-can paint.
- Palate
- Astringent, then dry. Burnt pork.
- Finish
- That lingering burnt meat and a balsa woodiness.
- Comment
- I couldn't get past that taste of overfried bacon. This is a great malt distillery, and one of my favourites, so I am a little disappointed.
75
- Nose
- Some tart red fruits hover above a buttery, chocolate croissant base. Pleasant malt notes.
- Palate
- Sweet (green apples?) and fiery at first. Some buttery notes. Warm fruit scones?
- Finish
- On the short side, with a memory of well done toast.
- Comment
- A very rich nose is slightly let down in the palate. On the whole, it's respectable enough.
