Taster

Nose: Gentle sea fragrance. Very appetising.

Palate: Cinnamon toast, then rhubarby fruitiness and wineyness. Appetisingly sourish acidity.

Finish: The coastal whisky and near-coastal sherry combine in a clinching hug of saltiness and oakiness.

Comment: A marriage made in heaven.

Score: 9

Palate: Fuller, creamy textures, chocolate liqueurs?

Comment: A wonderfully teasing complex and balanced creation.

Score: 9
