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.

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.
