Taster

Nose: A clean and quite milky aroma like fresh goat's cheese (this is good) alongside flowers, lemon, cut grass and general freshness.

Palate: Clean and precise with a delicious fizzy, sherberty quality that with water moves into elderflower blossom and a thick sweetness.

Finish: Creamy.

Comment: Good to have samples from The Laddie again and showing it is clearly in fine form.

Score: 7.7
