77
- Nose
- Fleshily ripe. Dried pear, clotted cream with scented estery notes. With water there's wholemeal bread, a touch of orange. Quite zippy.
- Palate
- A slightly strange mix of stewed fruit and dry malt tussling together. Hint of sulphur. Seems young suggesting greater things to come.
- Finish
- Long rich, lightly spiced slightly citric.
- Comment
- A teasing mix of aromas and flavours.
80
- Nose
- Orange: pith and rind. Lemon Jif and geraniums.
- Palate
- Dark chocolate, baked apples, hazelnuts and something sweet yet savoury like black bean sauce.
- Finish
- Dry roasted peanuts.
- Comment
- A full-on, after dinner style and a bold, characterful spirit.
