Nose
Earthy with a distant mushroom aroma. Wild mint. A very autumnal aromatic profile. Gets more dessert-like on time.
Palate
Crisp, medium bodied. Clings on the palate. Nice spicy display. Rye shows up. Apple skin, fresh ginger.
Finish
Dry, spicy. With a nice warm kick.
Comment
A well integrated combination of fruit and oak. A dram for uplifting hikers back from a wet walk.

Rich and powerful. Banana, raspberry, clotted cream cut with orange and lime zest. Generous and succulent.
Palate
Good balance. Has extra weight and depth and manages to play dry and sweet off each other.
Finish
Long, rich silky.
Comment
This has structure and character, one of the few to show some personality. Pleasant to start with but ultimately you’re driven mad by the saccharine niceness of it all.
