Taster
Nose: Glue (Uhu to be specific) then a touch of lemon grass and apple blossom. Slightly metallic suggesting\rimmaturity. With water there's coconut cream.
Palate: An improvement on a dull nose. Light and sweet with icing sugar,green apple,pear drop. Just a little raw,\rthough water helps knock the hotter edges off,though that kills the texture.. it's your choice.
Finish: Thins slightly.
Comment: Pleasant enough.
Score: 7.1
Taster
Nose: Fresh,lively. Grassy. Drying hay. Cereals. Vanilla toffee.A floral note when diluted. Marshmallow.
Palate: Firm,crisp. The same aromatic profile as the nose.Cereals with a vanilla yogurt.
Finish: Warm and dry.
Comment: Pleasant but nothing really exciting. A nice aperitif dram to be enjoyed with salmon on oatcakes.
Score: 7.5
