Bottling Type
Taster
Nose: An odd pewter-like colour. Light to the point of neutrality. Asparagus, grass and green apple.
Palate: The grassiness continues then is abruptly replaced by a confected rosehip syrup note. A garden centre in the rain.
Finish: Fades but with a slight greasy quality.
Comment: Seems cobbled together.
Score: 6
Taster
Nose: Gala melon, wheat, some floral notes and some Satsuma pith. A light meaty note was present, but was not enough to put you off.
Palate: Sweet and fruity in a peach slice kind of way. Vanilla.
Finish: Light sweetness.
Comment: Very light, easy going dram, slips down easy enough.
Score: 7.5
