Comment: An attractive dram for sure,but just lacks impetus.

Taster
Nose: Smoky. Burning wood. Slightly tangy. Malty notes struggle to go through the curtain of smoke.
Palate: Round. A bit diluted. Sweet, malty. Smoke lingers and dries the fruit. Cooked pears.
Finish: Dry,quite short.A nutty touch.
Comment: Smoke shows up insistently,muzzling the distillery character. But some like it very smoky.
Score: 7.5
