Taster

Nose: A floral perfume of bluebells and damp moss.

Palate: An early sprinkling of clean malt quickly disintegrates into something too oaky, hot and rugged for it's own good.

Finish: Tired, one-dimensional malt and offers a degree of sweetness against the drying and bitter oak.

Comment: Despite the low mark, pretty good by Coleburn standards. The nose and finale are impressive.

Score: 7
