72
- Nose
- Light, tangy. Mustardy. Spirity. Dry hay, mint. A touch of tangerine. Water enhances a butyric note.
- Palate
- Sweet at start then developing on mustard and spices. Biting. Fresh oak. A musty note.
- Finish
- Lingering and spicy. A bitter edge with water.
- Comment
- Quite an energetic guy which needs water to be tamed. A classic light Speysider, lacking elegance though.
75
- Nose
- High nose-burn without water. Very buttery with lots of top-notes: freesia, citrus peels, jasmine, lilac, estery, green pear, dolly mixtures.
- Palate
- Very sweet and hot without water but jammed full of fruit. Slight pooling of fruits in centre.
- Finish
- Citric and punchy. Short.
- Comment
- Call me a wimp if you want, but the high alcohol has just blurred everything here.
