Palate: Spirity, sweet and a little bland. A faint woodiness at the end.

Taster
Nose: A quite distant, slightly lean, unformed nose. Sugared almond, fondant icing, pear drop, muddy field, peanut skin.
Palate: Fine-boned and intense. Good quite vibrant, youthful feel. Alcohol.
Finish: Very short.
Comment: Not much interaction between spirit and wood immature. Light and clean but lacking in oomph.
Score: 7
