Review and Tasting


Sampled on 31/07/2015

Appearance:

Clear, pale-mid golden amber.

Aroma:

Sea spray, freshly sawn oak/pencil shavings and green apple with earthy chocolate, coffee, ginger, cinnamon and buttery pastry. Water brings out vanilla fudge and faint citrus zest.

Taste:

Dry spicy oak, faintly smoky (although its 100% unpeated), barley sugar sweetness, ginger, cinnamon, salt, biscuit, heather and oil. Like the nose, creamy fudge and citrus zest with water.

Aftertaste:

Vanilla fudge, dry and oaky, spicy and salty. Faint pepper spice.

Overall:

Creamy vanilla fudge, zesty citrus, dry spicy oak and barley sugar sweetness. Well-balanced and structured. Likes water.
