Tasting Notes

Nose

Sour. Dry cider. Humus. Wet leaves. Tobacco. Damp oak floor. A kind of musty character. Like entering a house which has been closed for months.

Palate

Sweet and bitter. Oak is overwhelming. A strange sweet character framed by a bitter oaky flavour. Not much more. Faint dried pears.

Finish

Dry, bitter and compact.

Comment

That whisky has lost its balance. Oak acts like an assertive screen.
