Nose
Aromatic. Honeyish. Flowery, with a slightly sharp, herbal, dryness. Palate
Orangey. Developing suggestions of toasted coconut and cedary notes. Finish
Oily dryness. Warming. Comment
Pleasant. Could be slightly rounder.

Nose
Slightly raw note: crisp and sappily green, lead pencils. There’s also a tarry note that reminds me of Pontefract cakes. Palate
Sweet and malty with raspberry, but overall pretty hard and young. The spirit seems concentrated, still sleeping. Finish
Sweet. Comment
Concentrated and tense, a little immature.
