72
- Nose
- Tangy, somewhat spirity. Cider cellar. Wet leaves. Touch of earthy mushrooms. Pear drop. Becomes cheesy.
- Palate
- Biting. Sour apple, pear drop. The cheesy notes show up.
- Finish
- Fizzy, spicy and nutty. Turning bitter.
- Comment
- Nose and palate are a bit agressive with a lingering sourness which is disturbing. A prickly character. Water smooths the flavours over but this is not enough.
77
- Nose
- Smooth and soft to begin, then some light smoke, bourbon biscuit, roast beef gravy, mint all balanced by gentle vanilla ice cream.
- Palate
- Praline, butter/cream. Meaty and rich in the centre with gentle oak. Substantial with richness.
- Finish
- Sweet then smoky/burnt.
- Comment
- This is still improving. A couple more years in cask would have improved it further.
