Taster

Nose: Sour. Pomegranate. Some other exotic fruit too. Floral. Daffodils. Develops on more fruit. Some fresh red grape juice. And also parma violets.

Palate: Sweet then shifting to the same sour character as the nose. Pomegranate.\rCrystallised violets. A perfumy sensation.

Finish: Sweet and perfume-like.

Comment: An unusual aromatic display. To try when you feel different? Maybe. That perfume profile made my tastebuds uncomfortable though.

Score: 7.2

Taster

Nose: Rich and deep. A hint of white truffle and a light charred note. Oily with nutty/sweet oxidised notes. Thick honey, barley sugar and ginger.

Palate: Big, thick and honeyed - blossom/clover. Red fruits, some spicy wood extract. Unctuous and thick.

Finish: Dessert like.

Comment: Amazing depth of character for such a young whisky. Has been bottled at its peak and shows a great balance of distillery character and the weird decayed glory of Sauternes.

Score: 8.7
