Taster

Nose: Tobacco pouch and crisp wood with some signs of maturity. Black banana and a herbal note. Oak driven.

Palate: Sweet start banana and raspberry sweets. The oak is quite grippy but not unpleasantly so. Oranges and a silky texture. Long and juicy.

Finish: Soft and then drying and then returns to an apricot note and some cocoa.

Comment: All comes together at the end.

Score: 8

Taster

Palate: Pineapple and nutmeg spice.

Finish: Chocolate.

Comment: Good complexity and typical of this hearty distillery.

Score: 8.8
