Taster
Nose: Back to oiliness again. This time oilskins along with cream, light smoke and an earthy quality. Cherry and pear.
Palate: Fragrant fruitiness. Very lifted and charming. Tinned cling peaches...
Finish: Pears topped with tinned cream.
Comment: Light and discreet. Perfectly pleasant but not exactly exciting.
Score: 7.5
Taster
Nose: Candied lemon, some smoke, and a slightly sulphury in the background. Fruit salad and some dry grassiness.
Palate: Sweet malt, fruit cocktail and vanilla custard, with a lightly syrupy texture.
Finish: Custard cream biscuits.
Comment: Not overly complex but very pleasant flavour and well textured. A sunny session dram.
Score: 8
