Taster

Nose: Lightly nutty. Lightly winey. Some appetising sweetness.

Palate: Light. Very winey. Falls away in the middle.

Finish: Very sweet. Treacle toffee. Nice and lingering.

Comment: Lacking in dimension for a single barrel. Saved by the finish.

Score: 7.3

Taster

Nose: Small grains to the fore with a lovely malt-rye interplay. Fittingly delicate and floral.

Palate: Much denser on the palate, in fact surprisingly heavy. Roasty, burnt raisins a hint of coffee and burnt fudge. Unbelievably chewy.

Finish: More of the same, though the fade out is slow and tantalising.

Comment: Unquestionably the best bottles sample from this distillery I've tasted yet.

Score: 9
