Nose

Citric and grainy, wheat flakes and herbal rye-like notes. Young and intense with saline astringency. Sultana and white grape. A touch of toffee coated banana. Water brings out fragrant honey and soft barley.

Palate

Tart and astringent, herbal rye-like notes and menthol. Oak and fleshy fruit sit beneath, the alcohol masks any further development. Water emphasises light toffee and honey but there is less herbal character.

Finish

Intense, dry, mouth-watering, herbal; menthol along with hints of heather and coffee.

Comment

Water makes it easier to drink.
