- Nose
- Spirity, restrained. Herbal and lemony notes. Very tangy. In time, a nutty touch. Fresh crushed almonds.
- Palate
- Far sweeter than expected. Unexpected earthy notes. Crystallised parma violets. Harsh fizziness. A demerara sweet flavour at mid-palate.
- Finish
- Dry, tangy.
- Comment
- The sweetness on the palate can't tame the alcohol harshness. It has not benefited from the casks as its pale colour confirms.
62
- Nose
- Dry, with a metallic edge: hot tin cans, balloons, play-doh. Water doesn't improve things. Dry and spiritous.
- Palate
- Hot! There's also a strange vegetal note (cabbage/garden compost) and then sugar puffs. It's better than the nose, but the fermenting grass is a touch off-putting.
- Finish
- Light.
- Comment
- Has bags of intensity, but lacks quality, balance and integration.
