Overall
Score
8.2
Nose
Needs time (and water) to open. When it does, there's olive oil, pepper, burned timbers on the beach.
Palate
Lean with a lightly oily feel, then a blast of smoke giving hints of seaweed, smoked fish, underpinned by a honeyed sweetness.
Finish
Dies a little.
Comment
Needs more input from the cask. Still, another great selection for TWS.
