Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

not that far from the 13, but with even more roundness and probably more vanilla. Tarte tatin, almonds, paraffin, a wee medicinal side (eucalyptus?) and then more fresh oak, that is to say more vanilla and grated coconut. Newly sawn oak. I like

restaurant Palate

same feeling, it hasn’t lost any of the 13’s ‘nervous sides’, and in fact it’s zestier, more lemony (artisan limoncello), maybe a little ala Rosebank, if you see what I mean. That’s an asset! Nice clean and fresh, I like this. The oak’s never ‘too much’ and just imparts sweeter notes of coconut again. Just a little, this is no pina colada at 46% vol. Maybe also just a wee touch of soap

timer Finish

of medium length, clean, fresh, lemony and malty
