A frisky malt which tastes young. But too angular. Not a very fruitful maturation?

Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Tangy. Grassy. Needs to be aerated to tone the sharpness down. Very perfumed on the hand. Drying hay, thick honey,honeysuckle.

Palate: Crisp and fresh. A good balance of sweet cereals and young oak. The tangy feel of the alcohol bite keeps the sharpness high though. With water lemony and gingery.

Finish: Dry,slightly bitter. Fizzy.

Comment: A frisky malt which tastes young. But too angular. Not a very fruitful maturation?

Score: 7.2

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Clean and fragrant. Lightly floral with a slight buttery, meadowsweet note and a twinge of unripe fruit. Some almond and a little lemon and wet wool.

Palate: Sweet and slightly syrupy to start. Bright and clean then the floral characters come through. Fresh lime. Needs water.

Finish: Gentle and springlike.

Comment: Balanced fresh and delicious.

Score: 8.2
