Bottle from Scrattings. It pours pale greenish gold with no head. The aroma is a lovely mélange of tangy apple and smoke, peat reek, light medicinal vibes, vanilla, apple pie & custard, apple skin, wood and just a touch barnyard. The taste is firmly dry, woody, earthy, light barnyard, slightly tart apples, apple skin, some juiciness, mellow peat smoke, slightly medicinal, oak, vinous, white grape and hay with a drying finish. Medium body and a vague hint of prickly carbonation. Not overdone in anyway. Lovely stuff.
