Nose

Intriguing; green tea, dry grasses, floral. Sappy note, sandalwood, ginger snaps, lemon verbena. About to burst into life. Water softens it, but too much kills the spiky aromatics.

Palate

Seemingly light, but complex. Almost sugary start, solid mid-palate with a lovely oily feel. Slightly austere (which I like).

Finish

Dry, soft, oily, moreish.

Comment

A dram you admire first, then love.
