Nose

Dry. Turf/turned earth, smoke, green sticks. With water, apple becomes the dominant aroma, with lemon, crisp (nutty) malt, tea and oak.

Palate

Quite intense to start, but opens well. Apple and nut, dried fruit, spice, ginger biscuits, pepper and dry wood. Light and dry.

Finish

Good length but maybe a little woody.

Comment

The driest and leanest of this flight, but has some complexity.
