78
- Nose
- Clean,very sweet and quite floral. In time a very gentle soft fruitiness comes through:caramelised pear
and peach.
- Palate
- Very forward. Lightly nutty (giving structure) then the perfumed notes of freesia and the fruit salad effect.
Chewy. Good balance.
- Finish
- Those fruits again. Creamy.
- Comment
- A lovely summery afternoon dram.
75
- Nose
- Prickly. The alcohol bite is quite sharp. Grassy then opens on cooked fruit. Greengage marmalade. Verjus
(unripe grape juice).Distant smoky echo.
- Palate
- Not as tangy as on the nose. The sweet maltiness tames the alcohol until a spicy.burst attacks the tastebuds. Chili,pepper. And this verjus touch.
- Finish
- Spicy,quite green.
- Comment
- Is that a young whisky? It gives an impression of greenness and something unripe. Water is a must.
