- Nose
- Pencil erasers, a faint peat, tropical fruit, and a little chalkiness. A slightly vegetal note crept in, almost cabbagey.
- Palate
- A pleasing rounded maltiness, followed by a crisp mineral-like character.
- Finish
- Slightly sicky.
- Comment
- Marked down for that cabbagey character – right back to school dinners.
60
- Nose
- Fat and buttery to start, then a weird vegetal note emerges alongside something akin to a flat sports drink (Lucozade/Pokari Sweat?) then sulphur, heavily chlorinated swimming pools, cheese and sour baby vomit (ie butyric). Mmmm!!
- Palate
- Oily and a little rubbery coconut.
- Finish
- Sadly long.
- Comment
- The oak trying to cover a very poor spirit.
