Score: 6
Taster
Nose: Peaty,earthy. An animal note,like the straw from the cowshed. A slight custardy aroma brings in a\rsweet touch.
Palate: Smooth at start,then alcohol tickles the tongue but remains quite tame. A fresh aniseed flavour.\rSweet grassiness.
Finish: Dry, fresh, with a slight astringency.
Comment: A solid dram. Rough and ready. The malty sweetness helps balancing the high strength. Invigorating.
Score: 7.3
