Taster

Nose: Light and grassy. Aniseed biscuits. A touch of lemon. Crushed fresh hazelnuts. Very fresh.

Palate: Sweet and nicely flowing. Good clean maltiness. Good balance. Getting spicy.

Finish: Slightly astringent.

Score: 8

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Another subtle entrant. Scented with light pine and wild berries. A juniper like note, this time mixed with spelt flour and lemon.

Palate: Very clean and clear with white berry fruits and a little hint of spice. Excellent refreshing acidity moving into pear juice. With water it remains cool, restrained but with excellent balance.

Finish: Cool and clean.

Comment: This shows how well Mackmyra has developed. No need to hope, the point has been proved.

Score: 8.1
