80
- Nose
- Ethereal and lightly smoky with delicate marine notes,hot sand and glowing charcoal embers. Builds
subtly with a blossom-like lift,saffron, grass/delicate vetiver and salty skin.
- Palate
- Immediate dry smoke,but everything is very precise and pure. Oily/waxy to start though a sandy almost gritty effect grips half way in. There's a seaweed note with water.
- Finish
- Delicate,gentle,clean and tingling.
- Comment
- Precise and poised. Happy Birthday Wee Dram.
75
- Nose
- Peaty,smoky with a vibrant tickling character. Citrus oil.Bonfire cold ashes. With water,gets briny. Touch of apple skin as well.
- Palate
- Smooth,very refreshing,like the feel of lemon iced lollipop. Keeps vibrant on the palate. Water tones the smokiness down but brings in sweet malty notes.
- Finish
- Dry,sooty,a bit thin.
- Comment
- A very pleasant outdoor dram. Don't look for complexity but just enjoy its fresh fizziness.
