Taster
Nose: Germoline, hot bitumen (two-lane blacktop), smoked meat. With water the smoke becomes more subtle and a creamy maltiness appears.
Palate: Soft and pretty sweet, ripe pear, malt and understated smokiness. Good balance.
Finish: Smoky, medium length.
Comment: A cheeky wee monkey. Lively.
Score: 8
Taster
Nose: Distinct burning grass. Maillard reaction. Caramelised onions.
Palate: The morning toast overdone, and burned at the edges, but still appetising.
Finish: Onion marmalade.
Comment: That wasn't breakfast toast after all. It was melba toast, with a game pate. Or better still, a mousseline.
Score: 8
