- Nose
- Musky vanilla and mashed linseeds.
- Palate
- Firm citrus fruitiness, viscous and mouth coating.
- Finish
- Tonic water dryness, light sherry.
- Comment
- Not as interesting as it used to be, this brand is teetering on the brink of bland.
67
- Nose
- Soft and creamy (coconut), acetone, then a hard metallic note reminiscent of aluminium cigar tubes. Peanut brittle. Has some sweetness with water, but there's some young stuff in there.
- Palate
- Light, soft, grassy. Vanilla, cane juice, apricot jam. With water a nagging harshness.
- Finish
- Dry raffia, wet reeds.
- Comment
- Distinctly average. Very disappointing.
