Taster

Nose: A gentle, clean smoke. Cut grass and eucalyptus oil. Sweet iced biscuits. Water takes me to the sea shore with spray in my face.

Palate: A puff of ashy smoke at the front and then oyster shell. Angelica, salted lemons and lime juice. It tastes green?

Finish: A clean mouthfeel with lingering menthol.

Comment: A clean mouthfeel with lingering menthol. Comments: A dram that delivers everything it should without overwhelming you.

Score: 7.5
