A very pleasant outdoor dram. Don't look for complexity but just enjoy its fresh fizziness.

Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Peaty,smoky with a vibrant tickling character. Citrus oil.Bonfire cold ashes. With water,gets briny. Touch of apple skin as well.

Palate: Smooth,very refreshing,like the feel of lemon iced lollipop. Keeps vibrant on the palate. Water tones the smokiness down but brings in sweet malty notes.

Finish: Dry,sooty,a bit thin.

Comment: A very pleasant outdoor dram. Don't look for complexity but just enjoy its fresh fizziness.

Score: 7.5

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Ethereal and lightly smoky with delicate marine notes,hot sand and glowing charcoal embers. Builds\rsubtly with a blossom-like lift,saffron, grass/delicate vetiver and salty skin.

Palate: Immediate dry smoke,but everything is very precise and pure. Oily/waxy to start though a sandy almost gritty effect grips half way in. There's a seaweed note with water.

Finish: Delicate,gentle,clean and tingling.

Comment: Precise and poised. Happy Birthday Wee Dram.
