Nose: Aromatic. Fresh aniseed aromas. Marzipan. Apple blossom. Juicy peaches. A touch of new leather
Palate: Rich, mellow, fruity. The same herbal freshness. Lemon balm, star anise. A delicate oak touch.
Finish: Dry, fresh oak. Walnut peel. Sweet liquorice.
Comment: A good combination of fruit and oak. Wood is well integrated. Quite a moreish dram.
Score: 8.5
Taster
Nose: Oily almost greasy. Wood preserver, slightly flabby. Moss and grass, green fern, hot bracken. With water, some camphor.
Palate: Light malt, dry oak, clean and citric.
Finish: Apple and nutmeg.
Comment: Technically excellent...but an extra dimension is needed. None of these are complex.
Score: 7.3
