Tasting Notes

Nose

Clean and leafy (green leaves), light nutty/hay-like maltiness, pie crust, macaroon and a hint of phenols. Water reveals a note like firelighters/leaking primus stove.

Palate

Incredibly hot when taken neat. Water calms it and initially shows hazelnut and attractive sweetness. Then it collapses.

Finish

Light smoke.

Comment

Once again not sufficient complexity or balance to elevate it to greatness.
