Taster

Nose: Malty and nutty. Oak is well integrated. Cooked plums, marzipan. Apples drying in the attic. Mustiness and earth. Oak comes back.

Palate: Smooth and crisp too. Oak is more prominent but flavours are nicely intertwined. A touch of milk chocolate.

Finish: Dry, with a refreshing sour/bitter touch.

Comment: Very elegant and balanced on the nose. Oak tends to show off but the dram keeps its charm though.

Score: 7.8

Taster

Nose: Dried lemon peel. Fresh and floral, daffodil/iris and touches of dry malt. Shifts into tisane, straw and apple.

Palate: Very soft with good flow. This has more of a juicy guava like softness. Silky and almost wine like. Well integrated oak which adds a lightly spiced element.

Finish: White pepper.

Comment: Charming and well balanced.

Score: 8
