Nose

Hay. A distinct cereal note, old cereal bags, hint of grappa-like twigginess, fennel. Thin.

Palate

Starts very soft and quiet (lemon barley water) then lashes out, snarling. Lemon juice and heat. Would give zest and energy to a blend, but lacks finesse and quality when on its own.

Finish

Hard cereal.

Comment

A volatile, pale-faced wee dram that suddenly turns on you.
