Taster

Nose: Clean and delicate with light and spicy rye to the fore. Lemongrass.

Palate: Lifted, light and delicate. Lots of rye but floats across the palate.

Finish: Clean. Medium length. Good balance.

Comment: A sassy little glass: the charmer to Booker's bruiser. A midday Old Fashioned.

Score: 8
