Taster
Nose: Oak dominant, quite hard, dry bracken. Lots of bark-like woodiness, pine,\rgarden clippings, old pine needles, vegetal, then comes sweet\rcaramelised wood and a hint of custard. Bourbon like...
Palate: ...but it isn't because it doesn't have the sweetness. Dry spirit and dry wood.
Finish: Firm oak.
Comment: Lost in the forest like Hansel and Gretel, but before they find the house\rof sweets.
Score: 7.2
Taster
Nose: Nutty and oaky. Autumnal fruit. Medlars, cooked apples.
Palate: Crisp and dry. Sherbety. Oak prevails and frames toffee apples. Getting\rspicier and drier.
Finish: Dry and spicy, slightly warming. Dusty.
Comment: The alcohol is not completely mastered. This whisky needs a good\rdash of water and gets fruitier.
Score: 7.5
