Overall
Score
8.3
Nose
Peaty, slightly greasy/lanolin/wet sheep. A little numb (high alcohol) then plenty of sooty smoke. Wet army blankets. Seems young.
Palate
Explosion of oily notes, oats. Has balance, but the spirit seems gawky. A pure sweet centre. Smoke is like hot tar on a road.
Finish
Slightly musty.
Comment
Has impact and aggression, but a bit one dimensional.
