Nose
Light, fresh but sweet, appetising, fruity, pear-like.
Palate
Dryish, pear-like, more fruitiness as flavour develops. A dash of water releases a hint of smokiness and some sweet, malty notes.
Finish
Restrained, aromatic.
Comment
Lean, smooth and appetising.

Finish
Some oaky notes.
Comment
Rather simple, but very enjoyable – except for the slightly duff nose.
