Reminiscent of playing in cut grass on a summer’s day with a pocket full of sweets. Seems relatively young, with strong American Oak influence. I’d be interested to see this liquid with more years on it.

Tasting Notes

Laura Foster

Taster

Nose: Lemony – specifically sorbet and sherbets with cut grass, malted barley and a genever-like note too.

Palate: Delicate, distinct vanilla ice cream and vanilla pod, lemon peel, bon bons and white flowers with barley and peppery heat.  

Finish: Delicacy results in a shorter finish of buttered banana bread.

Comment: Reminiscent of playing in cut grass on a summer’s day with a pocket full of sweets. Seems relatively young, with strong American Oak influence. I’d be interested to see this liquid with more years on it.

Score: 7.3

Mark Newton

Taster

Nose: Floral, with a new-make, metallic undertone. Cut grass, melons and vanilla. Golden syrup over stewed apples. A maltiness and vegetative quality manifests as fruit fades.

Palate: Vanilla, with honey, bananas, grapefruit and green tea. Black pepper and cinnamon, then earthy, grassy tones. The texture is pleasant.

Finish: Straightforward, green apples, buttermilk, pepper and grass.

Comment: Something curious – perhaps it’s the casks? But it pulls through.
