Nose

Sharp and tangy. Phenolic. Creosote. Grassy. Lemon balm, drying hay. A touch of aniseed. Vanilla slowly swirls up. A briny hint.

Palate

Sweet at first but the alcohol bite sweeps it up. Minty and smoky. Barley sugar. Pear drop with water.

Finish

Swiftly vanishing but clean.

Comment

A thirst quenching dram. Too harsh neat. A good dash of water tames it.\rObviously young. But structured.
