Taster
Nose: Slightly raw note: crisp and sappily green, lead pencils. There's also a tarry note that reminds me of Pontefract cakes.
Palate: Sweet and malty with raspberry, but overall pretty hard and young. The spirit seems concentrated, still sleeping.
Finish: Sweet.
Comment: Concentrated and tense, a little immature.
Score: 6.8
Taster
Nose: Aromatic. Honeyish. Flowery, with a slightly sharp, herbal, dryness.
Palate: Orangey. Developing suggestions of toasted coconut and cedary notes.
Finish: Oily dryness. Warming.
Comment: Pleasant. Could be slightly rounder.
Score: 7.5
