ABV 40%
Once again the nose offers up hope only for it to be dashed on the palate. It's not so much these are light, it is that they lack substance.

Nose: Plump and fleshy with apricot/pear and light liquorice. Coconut cream and some muscle.
Palate: Peachy once more, but thins quickly. Very light in the mouth with a nutty/vanilla mid-palate.
Finish: Biscuity. Light.
Comment: Once again the nose offers up hope only for it to be dashed on the palate. It's not so much these are light, it is that they lack substance.
Score: 7
Taster
Nose: Delicate, with pleasing aromas of pears and spring flowers.
Palate: Malt and ginger, slightly assertive.
Finish: Attractive ginger/spice notes, but not much length to it.
Comment: Lively spices dominate this expression, but perhaps slightly on the youthful side?
Score: 7.8
