Overall
Score
7.0
Nose
A charred/smoky/liquorice note to open with followed by sweet concentrated hedgerow fruits. A little rubbery with water suggesting the distillate was not fully matured.
Palate
Firm, with some wet wool. All in all, quite grippy, suggestive of double wooding. The fruits which are there on the nose are encased.
Finish
Rhubarb, a little bitter.
Comment
For me the finishing element has just been just a little overdone.
