- Nose
- Edgy and slightly metallic. Seems young; green walnut, unripe fruits. Slightly sweeter with water, but still hard overall.
- Palate
- Some daffodil-like floral aromas. Light pear, but very thin with water.
- Finish
- Sudden. Dry and hollow.
- Comment
- This metallic edge suggests the use of young grain that hasn't matured out fully.
75
- Nose
- A most unusual, high, furniture polish and spirity nose. Acetone and meths, yet not unattractive.
- Palate
- Oily, with dark berries and malt.
- Finish
- Quite short and nutty. Lingering vanilla behind oak.
- Comment
- A curious beast, indeed.
