80
- Nose
- Buttery with a faint butyric note. A thin veil of smoke hoovers over poached pears. Wet rush. Aeration brings a delicate fresh citrus breath.
- Palate
- Smooth, silky, sweet at start. An earthy dryness pleasantly invades the palate while spices tingle tastebuds.
- Finish
- Fruity, spicy, dry. Fresh almond aftertaste.
- Comment
- That guy hides a tender heart under a reserved manner. Give it time and a dash of fresh water. Definitely an outdoor dram.
72
- Nose
- Malty/Ovaltine with hazelnut, wood shavings red grapes and candied peel. Becomes hard with water.
- Palate
- A dry slightly charred start before deepening moving through hazelnut into stewed fruit decent balance.
- Finish
- Sudden raisin.
- Comment
- Better weight but ultimately this is still fragile.
