Taster

Nose: Pale and rather feeble. Plastic.

Palate: Very light though with a certain sweetness. It's either young or knackered. In time there's some white\rbread soaked in milk. Lacking in almost everything.

Finish: There isn't one.

Comment: Absolutely no cask interaction, making this the polar opposite of the last quartet. In a way this is a very\rinstructive tasting.

Score: 6.9

Taster

Nose: Prickly,the alcohol bites. Citrussy. The whole lemon :juice,pulp and rind. An earthy touch. Garden thyme. All that makes a pleasant combination but a bit one dimensional.

Palate: The alcohol bite again! The spirit dances on the tongue but with high heel shoes ! Then a sweet malty\rflavours soothes the tastebuds.

Finish: Soothing,with an almondy aftertaste.

Comment: Invigorating but quite sharp. Like a Northern wind on a frosty morning. If you need to wake up.

Score: 7.3
