A satisfying everyday malt. I can't think of a time when you wouldn't want one of these. Populist.

Taster
Nose: Pear, lemon, crab apples and a raspberry coulis.
Palate: A little hot without water, but settles into a light plum sauce, dark chocolate and apples. Mouthfilling, complete and satisfying.
Finish: A short, tingling nutmeg.
Comment: A satisfying everyday malt. I can't think of a time when you wouldn't want one of these. Populist.
Score: 8
Taster
Nose: Drying grass, lawnmower box with light cereal and a sherbert like citric lift. Hints of green walnut and tangerine. Pretty...but young.
Palate: Real malty sweetness with soft fruits in the centre and balancing oak.
Finish: A little short. Seems young, but has decent balance. Good.
Comment: Have this before lunch and maybe chilled down.
Score: 7.5
