Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 64 by Martine Nouet and Dave Broom.

Nose
Estery and buttery with a slight butyric note. A phenolic hint tangled up with a fresh liquorice fragrance. Opens up on a smooth grassy note. Quite a complex interlaced aromatic profile. Palate
Dry and fruity, giving way to bitter notes. Finish
Rather short, clean and dry. Comment
The complexity of the nose is not reflected on the palate. But the clean dryness makes it refreshing and enjoyable.
Dave Broom
Nose
High toned and estery. Quite restrained. Polished wood, peach stone, violet. With water there’s white flowers, grapefruit. Palate
Sweet, fragrant and honeyed. Very light grip with a little lemon and hot sawdust. Finish
Gentle. Lychee. Comment
Very clean and precise. Charming.
