Overall
Score
7.6
Nose
Clear minerality – chalk specifically – with vanilla ice cream and charred wood. Sharp pomelo and yuzu, plus a touch of fizzy chew bars.
Palate
That classic end to a meal: charcoal-sprinkled vanilla ice cream, followed by a petit fours of rocks. Yuzu and lemon water peep through on this chalky-textured whisky.
Finish
That subtle smoke keeps wafting around with the chalk.
Comment
Variation on a vanilla theme, this time with added smoke.
