75
- Nose
- Acetone, a hint of glue, bubblegum. Is your name Ester by any chance? Very grassy. After the volatiles fly off you're left with (cloudy) apple juice, marzipan, gooseberry jam and light oak.
- Palate
- Good layering of fruits. You can almost feel the velvet skin of the apricot as it slides over the tongue. Creamy.
- Finish
- Soft with a slight tart note.
- Comment
- Another whose palate runs counter to its nose.
70
- Nose
- Gala melon, struck flint and warm bread. Watermelon and pear drops. Borders on that over-chemically esters board-marker note.
- Palate
- Fruity (melons and pears), fruit salad chews, then bone dry.
- Finish
- Bourbon-like woodiness, and more dryness.
- Comment
- Some delightful fruity elements but ultimately dominated by woodiness. Don't attempt if you don't like dry whisky!
