Taster

Nose: Fleshy, sugared almond. Needs time to open when you can find clover honey, violet. Quite syrupy and sweet. Water gives it a lift.

Palate: Light touch of pear drop. Immediate sweetness with a crunchy middle. Cheesecake base.

Finish: Long, sweet.

Comment: Give this time and you'll find a delicious dram.

Score: 7.8

Taster

Nose: Pale sultanas, exotic fruit, kiwi and a pencillike woodiness. Cocoa.

Palate: Honeycomb sweetness, kiwi, oats, some floral notes and lemon Turkish delight. Well balanced, fruity goodness.

Finish: Dusty cocoa and a shake of spice.

Comment: There's something breakfasty about this, like a good bowl of honeyed and well-fruited porridge.

Score: 8.3
