Taster

Nose: Strawberry and rosehip once more but this has some greater substance and depth. Some smoke in there as well. Slight touch of youth.

Palate: Sweet quite concentrated fruits. Again hinting at depth. Lightly phenolic.

Finish: Good length mixing woodsmoke and hedgerow fruits.

Comment: A success.

Score: 8

Taster

Nose: Some sherry-like dried fruit notes, with some berries and spice too. There's smoke too with a little oaty cereal character.

Palate: Very sweet initially, with vanilla and treacle toffee, with cinnamon spice and dryness coming through later. Some berry fruit is in the delivery too.

Finish: A thread of smoke.

Comment: Another successful finish where the cask input seemed to work with the spirit.

Score: 8
