| Tasting Notes |
| Robert Karlsson | Fragrant on vanilla and malt. A wee bit flowery. Quite an aggressive maltiness here. Quite dry indeed on woody notes and hints of flowers in the aftertaste. Ought to be a strong one. |
| Rich Howard | initial notes were of a gentle oakiness, very light drifts of sweet red apple, vanilla and a hint of powdered sugar. after a few minutes, red berries started to emerge, along with some deeper vegetal and herbal notes, and just a hint of disinfectant. the palate offers an immediate sugared fruit sweetness and some citrus, followed by the slightly bitterish herbs, with some oaky tannins and even some dried leaves. very drying, actually. water warms up some vanilla and butter on the nose, but now the palate has been reduced too far, to oaky cardboard and powdered sugar. i think this has a tad too much wood without water, and is worthless with.
