72
- Nose
- Mealy/mashy and cereal (wheat chaff) notes with underlying yeastiness and at the whiff of a beer cellar. Fresh fruitiness, old pear and light florals behind a touch of plasticene suggestive of youth.
- Palate
- Dry minerality. Light and a little tense, but a clean distillate.
- Finish
- Fresh and short.
- Comment
- Well made. Just needs time in cask to bulk up a little. Just hope they keep
some back for longer term aging.
74
- Nose
- Nutty and resiny. Toasted hazelnuts. Pine needles. Hint of gorse. Getting earthy on time. Apple skin. With water, formic acid.
- Palate
- Smooth and soft. Even too soft. Watery at mid palate. The same resin notes. With a touch of eucalyptus. Drying on oaky notes.
- Finish
- Dry, slightly bitter.
- Comment
- A sweet-bitter whisky with an unusual taste. Some special oak?
