Taster

Nose: Restrained, light. Fruity. Litchi, pear. Vanilla syrup. Hint of parma violet too.

Finish: Drying on spices. Quite lingering.

Comment: Shy at first but revealing pleasant fruity flavours.

Score: 8

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Shy at first, gentle and delicate. Then this creamy, golden syrup note comes through. Vanilla Danish pastry and a hint of oak lactone.

Palate: Moves a stage on from the nose, but still delicate. More spices start to come through, baked apple pie with vanilla ice cream.

Finish: Pretty long and warming.\r

Comment: Give this dram a little time to open up and reveal itself, and you will be rewarded.

Score: 8.4
