Taster

Nose: Pure and light. Lifted, lightly floral. Lily, broom, fennel, fruit. Hint of nut (hazel/brazil). Pine. Sweetly refined with an extra level of complexity.

Palate: Medium-bodied and lively. Silky, soft fruits. Graceful and smooth with balanced oak.

Finish: Broad. Cedar. Winey.

Comment: Just beginning to pick up complexity. Try this distillery at 12 or 15! World class.

Score: 8.5

Taster

Nose: Floral. Peppery. Prickly. Cider apple. Becomes buttery with toffee notes. Distant echo of creosote.

Palate: Sweet and sour. Pear-drop, pineapple. Varnish. Tangy in the middle.

Finish: Dry and assertive. Concentrates on spices and oak.

Comment: Nose is more attractive than the palate. Lacks elegance and cohesion.

Score: 7.3
