Taster

Nose: Malty.Farmyard. Hay and straw with an animal touch. Barley sugar.

Palate: Satin-like. A lovely feel of sweet cereals. Muesli with dried cranberries and bananas crisps. All sort liquorice.

Finish: Clean,rather crisp but with a pleasant length.

Comment: An enjoyable dram. Well balanced with a good structure and a straightforward malty profile. Far better when neat. Water makes it soft and heavier.

Score: 7.8
