Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

this is a different style, a little rawer and maltier, with whiffs of bicycle inner tubes and marzipan at first, then rather lime liqueur, green apples, and a wee touch of iodine and bandages. A medicinal Arran? Why not? With water: gets more cake-y and chocolaty, as if water had smoothened it up. The lime’s still there

restaurant Palate

we’re much closer to the OB, that is to say leathery, citric, grassy, with some apple compote and some tobacco. No Turkish delights this time, though. With water: excellent, really. Liquorice, lemons, grass, grapefruits. A lovely sauvignony tightness

timer Finish

medium, as fresh and bright as the OB
