Score
7.6
Nose
Gooseberries, rhubarb and watermelon flavoured Jolly Ranchers. Hay and wet varnish.
Palate
Vibrant fruitiness and textured sweetness. More watermelon sweets and Turkish Delight. With time a dried fish or prawny element appeared.
Finish
Green, sappy oakiness, some smoked fish.
Comment
An elegant oaky whisky, but the dried fish element was only apparent after half an hour in glass; most people will have glugged this by then.
