Bottling Type
Taster
Nose: Very sweet and slightly buttery, then a grappa-like immaturity. All pear drops and bananas. Unbalanced distillation wise.
Palate: Thin and though clean has an aggressive quality. Water calms this down but also reduces the flavour to nothing bar a slightly buzzy quality.
Finish: Hard.
Comment: Esters galore and another that’s just too young.
Score: 6
Taster
