Taster

Nose: Dry, with some raisin, toasted tea cake, wholemeal flour. A slight lactic touch goes with the addition of water, while the nuts turn into Ovaltine.

Palate: Pretty firm, though given a sugared almond sweetness. Soft-centred.

Finish: Clean and nutty.

Comment: An old malty number just about holding its own, but it hasn't gained hugely in terms of complexity.

Score: 7.5

Taster

Nose: Tasty warm flapjacks, and orange muffins. Sweet orange blossom and good milk chocolate.

Palate: Orange, a green oakiness and lots of dryness.

Finish: Sulphurous, like roast pork crackling.

Comment: A very dry palate, but a pleasant drop nonetheless.

Score: 7.8
