Nose

Grassy, slightly spirit. Lemon balm, light mint. Lemonade. Quite estery and light. Vanilla comes swirling around. Light smoke. Water brings out fruit and some sweetness.

Palate

Sweet at first then getting sherbety. Cream soda. Smokier on the palate.

Finish

Dry, smoky, nearly sooty with some astringency as well.

Comment

That whisky needs a dash of water to find its balance. Refreshing, you would have expected more complexity from the age but not unpleasant.
