BIAB @ JDW Shrewsbury Hotel, Shrewsbury. Pours clear pale gold. Turps aroma, taste follows. Tastes like I should be stripping my paint brushes with it. Couldn’t finish.

Box @ Percy Shaw, Halifax. The barrel aged influence is certainly evident in its aroma and is very pleasant. It’s less evident in its taste, but here there’s a very good, and very crisp apple to be found. Very pale gold coloured.
