Nose: Sweet maltiness. Cereal grains. Sandalwood. Musk. Light smoke. Light on the tongue, very smooth.
Palate: Sweet. Malty but light and refreshing.
Finish: Oily. Creamy.
Comment: Delicate, appetising and refreshing, but falls away in the middle.
Score: 7.5
Taster
Nose: Subdued slightly. Surprisingly fresh.
Palate: Mouth-watering. A fine flush of intense malt tops the middle. Excellent bittersweet ratio.
Finish: Now the oak kicks in, but gently so.
Comment: A much busier, more complex malt than the nose suggests. Entertaining stuff.
Score: 8
