Taster

Nose: An intense assault of pear drops, lime peel and Haribo jelly sweets. Incredibly fruity.

Palate: Very creamy but not as sweet as the nose would lead you to believe. Loads of grassy spice with honeyed oak after a moment.

Finish: Quinine dry.

Comment: This malt used to be a tad young, the current bottling is older and certainly works better.

Score: 7.5

Taster

Nose: Oaky. Balsa wood, young spirit. Malt husks and a green, grappa-like note.

Palate: Thin and dilute. Soft fruits in centre, but overpowered by tightly gripping oak and lemony spirit.

Finish: Dry, short.

Comment: Young, hard to back.

Score: 6.8
