Taster

Nose: Pencil erasers, a faint peat, tropical fruit, and a little chalkiness. A slightly vegetal note crept in, almost cabbagey.

Palate: A pleasing rounded maltiness, followed by a crisp mineral-like character.

Finish: Slightly sicky.

Comment: Marked down for that cabbagey character - right back to school dinners.

Score: 6.5

Taster

Nose: Fat and buttery to start, then a weird vegetal note emerges alongside something akin to a flat sports drink (Lucozade/Pokari Sweat?) then sulphur, heavily chlorinated swimming pools, cheese and sour baby vomit (ie butyric). Mmmm!!

Palate: Oily and a little rubbery coconut.

Finish: Sadly long.

Comment: The oak trying to cover a very poor spirit.

Score: 6
