Taster

Nose: Graphite. Warm barn. Cereal, soggy cornflakes. Light citrus.

Palate: Sweet with a little vanilla. Slightly numb. Water shakes out some juicy fruits and macadamia nut.

Finish: White fruits.

Comment: Again, a palate whisky.

Score: 7.6

Taster

Nose: Oily, medicinal. Wet pebbles, sea-lettuce. A hint of wasabi. Lemon peel. The smoke keeps at a distance. Quite rich. In time, gets buttery with a cheesy touch.

Palate: Crisp but oily. Spices overwhelm the sweet maltiness of the core. Quite sherbety on the tongue. Ginger ale, a hint of green cardamom.

Finish: Dry, crisp, fizzy.

Comment: An outdoor dram. Has retained a mineral and seashore profile. Bring on the oysters!

Score: 7.6
