Overall
Score
7.3
Nose
Decent intensity with vegetal (wet banana leaf)/green plum notes. Tropical notes mixed with dry hay and flowers. Hint of toffee and crisp oak. Slightly acidic, yet sweet.
Palate
Direct with decent grip. Finer in character than the 12 with similar levels of sweetness but this has more toastiness and better length. Silky.
Finish
Sweet. Toffee crisp.
Comment
This is best neat. Shows a clean progression of flavours.
