75
- Nose
- Drying grass, lawnmower box with light cereal and a sherbert like citric lift. Hints of green walnut and tangerine. Pretty...but young.
- Palate
- Real malty sweetness with soft fruits in the centre and balancing oak.
- Finish
- A little short. Seems young, but has decent balance. Good.
- Comment
- Have this before lunch and maybe chilled down.
80
- Nose
- Pear, lemon, crab apples and a raspberry coulis.
- Palate
- A little hot without water, but settles into a light plum sauce, dark chocolate and apples. Mouthfilling, complete and satisfying.
- Finish
- A short, tingling nutmeg.
- Comment
- A satisfying everyday malt. I can't think of a time when you wouldn't want one of these. Populist.
