Nose

Crisp and citric. Dry, woody rye with herbal notes. The oak is relegated to a supporting role and a touch of cold tea leaves, gooseberry, cabbage and green wood shavings appear.

Palate

Quite spirit driven with a little more oak. A lot more conventional than the nose would lead you to believe with crisp, herbal rye and developing bitter spice, treacle and caramel corn. \n

Finish

Very dry and oozing bitter spice, but there’s just enough vanilla oak to stop your lips puckering up! \n

Comment

An absolutely fascinating nose.
