75- Nose
- Oily, lightly piney, earthy, salty, dry.

- Finish
- A little malty sweetness and some saltiness.
- Comment
- A lovely aperitif.
Jim Murray
75- Nose
- Enormously fruity at first; a salad of under and overripe banana, raisin and apple. The malty notes are flat and lifeless by comparison, but offer balance.
- Palate
- Much more upfront, fresher malt than on the nose with a light, though chewy, oakiness. A spicy dryness offers some pizazz.
- Finish
- More oak and softer vanilla with a lingering maltiness.
- Comment
- Still a hit-and-miss dram, though this sample was simple and strictly middle of the road. Very quaffable all the same.
