Taster

Nose: Flat and soft. Acetone once again, biscuit, hot crumpet, oily and slightly smoky with water.

Palate: A somewhat unhappy amalgam of the oak and a young spirit. The former is beginning to soften and bring out some sweetness but is also quite grippy. All rather uneasy.

Finish: Hard.

Comment: Another let-down. Lacking in coherence.

Score: 6.5
