Taster
Nose: Creamy. Complex. Candle wax, lilac, bitumen, lemons a-plenty, pear, honey, light marine notes, dry seaweed, smoke.
Palate: Oily and smooth with a light waxiness. Eases onto the palate. A concentrated bundle with hints of lemon myrtle. Great balance.
Finish: Smoke leaks out. Dry.
Comment: A complex, subtle malt.
Score: 9
