An uplifting and refreshing whisperer. Perfect morning dram with a bowl of fruit and cereal. Can take a dash of water to cut the edges.

Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Light, restrained at first nose. Vanilla infused herbal tea. A citrussy note. Something green. Freshly cut lettuce. Quite delicate.

Palate: Lovely smoothness. Fruity. Pear drop with some lemon. Drying on ground ginger.

Finish: Surprisingly lingering, slightly numbing because of the spiciness.

Comment: An uplifting and refreshing whisperer. Perfect morning dram with a bowl of fruit and cereal. Can take a dash of water to cut the edges.

Score: 7.7

Joel Harrison

Taster

Nose: Lemon hot toddy, with whipped cream side. Then a sudden burst of orange blossom and excellent aged oak. A nose of two halves.

Palate: This has real oiliness and body to the palate with bergamot, satsuma, lemon \rand lime flavours on the palate.

Finish: Some spices and vanilla.\r

Comment: Round, sweet and well balanced. Like a packet of Starburst sweets.

Score: 9
