Taster
Nose: Firm, spicy and oaky. Night stocks, black fruits, cinnamon and nutmeg. Walking in the pines after rain.
Palate: A floral start with some soft fruits. Firm structure, toffee, oak/pine. Good balance.
Finish: Firms up. Lots of spice.
Comment: The same underlying fruity character as the distillery bottling but this is more structured and spicy. Take your pick, they're both very fine.
Score: 8
