75
- Nose
- Citrussy and buttery. Orange curd. Earthy and musty. Moss, fern. Hint of rose.
- Palate
- Sweet at first, then gets close to medlars. Spices wipe out this unpleasant note.
- Finish
- Dry and spicy. Rather tangy.
- Comment
- Lacks balance. Alcohol is quite fierce. Water tames it down but needs to be strictly dosed as it enhances bitterness. Some character but quite sharp.
82
- Nose
- High-toned and estery but with a deep caramel toffee from the oak. Super-ripe fruits and a smoky edge.
- Palate
- Praline, runny toffee, sultana. Somewhat rum like: allspice, ginger, brazil nut, cool mint, rice crackers. Smoke hangs above like a veil.
- Finish
- Clean and gentle. Medium.
- Comment
- Perfume and smoke? It's a Japanese Ardmore.
