Tasting Notes

Colour

dark gold

air Nose

hyper-mega fruity, as expected. Would make a 1976 Benriach nose like an Octomore in comparison. Quite. And it’s also very Irish, with these sweet metallic notes (copper?) and the touches of slightly sour mango compote. Other than that, it’s banana and guava galore

restaurant Palate

very easy, very fruity. It’s a rather light body but it does sing and has got some oily texture, bizarrely. Bananas and guavas again, plus a touch of litchi and then rather more oak than I expected. Strong rosehip tea, sour apples, green apricots, cinnamon

timer Finish

relatively short. More rosehip tea with bits of dried guavas and grated cinnamon. A touch of beer in the aftertaste
