80- Nose
- Acetic. Coffee icing. Then creamy toffee, caramel notes combining with pear drops remind me of Elastoplast. Herbal.
- Palate
- Cereal grains. Newsprint. Faintly smoky. Creamy toffee and vanilla develop with water.
- Finish
- Oily, burnt croissant. Wood ash.
- Comment
- A number of surprising, and perhaps contradictory, characteristics that actually come together quite nicely in the end.

80- Nose
- Malt loaf, dark chocolate sauce, vanilla, warm tar and peat. With water more eucalyptus/tea tree, and Limoncello.
- Palate
- Like crunching peated barley malt. Porridge and peat, with lemon rind.
- Finish
- More youthful peatiness.
- Comment
- I was reminded of the time I met a German loon who claimed to sprinkle heavily peated barley on his muesli. This is 30ppm Ready Brek.
