Tasting Notes

Nose

Heathery, slightly splintery, very light smoke. Sweeter with water. Vanilla. Quite distant. Lacks life.

Palate

Soft and sweet. Flows well. Orange crates, light soot, nutty.

Finish

Pretty short.

Comment

Though it flows well and has balance it just lacks complexity and energy.
