ABV 40%
A malty nose but balanced and quite sweet on the palate. A drinkable session dram.

Nose: Light. Wholemeal bread/dry grass/bran/Ryvita, with some fresh soft fruits behind (raspberry). Brown boot polish, freshly baked bread.
Palate: Light still, but with more fruit. Vanilla and caramelised fruits. Good silky, rounded, feel.
Finish: Smooth, liquorous.
Comment: A malty nose but balanced and quite sweet on the palate. A drinkable session dram.

Taster
Nose: Marzipan, quince, apples, peach slices and the top of a crème brûlée.
Palate: Vanilla, apples, and chewy toasted oak.
Finish: A tinny bloodiness.
Comment: Lots of American Oak, and a super clean character. Nowt wrong, but not quite enough right.
Score: 7
