TASTING NOTES

APPEARANCE : Amber.

BODY : Medium-bodied with a smooth mouthfeel.

NOSE : A relatively closed nose. Planed wood, light toffee, boat varnish. Linseed oil behind, even putty, and later a lychee-like acidity. With water, the acidity comes up (acid drops), and the nose sweetens. Still a pleasant fresh woodiness or leatheriness, the varnish now supported by artists turpentine. Warm sand. After a while, coffee dregs with brown sugar. Not an obvious nose, however.

PALATE : This delicate malt offers fruits, planed wood, and light toffee. The palate is sweet before gaining in acidity.

FINISH : Dry; medium-length, with an attractive lingering sandalwood aftertaste. Sharp and well-balanced.
