Nose

Initially the aromas are quite shy, but there is plenty of dense, slightly spicy oak along with soy sauce, wheat flakes, dried balsamic fruit and a light spice note. With time some grainy spirit puts in an appearance.

Palate

Slightly watery with sweet spice, dried sultana, white grape and oak. Hugely tannic with some creamy notes attempting to offset, and like the nose some \ngrainy spirit notes \ncome through.

Finish

Dry and tannic, with the grainy spirit prevalent.

Comment

It feels like a moderately aged grain whisky which has succumbed to the oak.
