Taster

Nose: Shy, restrained. Herbalist shop. Lemon balm. Lemon thyme. Perfumy. Hint of pineapple. With water, vanilla syrup.

Palate: Sweet at first with a satin like feel. The alcohol is well mastered. Dries up and gets spicy. Ginger beer. With water, a fresh minty note.

Finish: Dry, minty.

Comment: That whisky seems to have matured in a tired cask. But it is worth giving it time to unwind. Finally quite pleasant.

Score: 7.5

Taster

Nose: Clean and lightly sweet with a subtle spiciness cut with a whiff of silver\rpolish and freshly cleaned linoleum.

Palate: Lifted and sweet with that familiar mix of green fruits, carnation and a vivacious acidity.

Finish: Long and peppery. Bracing.

Comment: Has good balance and decent complexity.

Score: 7.9
