Cask at the Bree Louise, London 17/3/2011. Light, fruity apple aroma. Easy drinking with dessert apple notes and a medium dry finish. Fine.

Glass from a bottle at The cherry Tree Canterbury shared with Ang. Bright gold with no head. Some apple on the aroma. Quite sticky. Quite hot in moith. Some subtle whisky jotes. More like a grain whisky cask. Quite sweet and sticky. Finish has sweetish apples. But not unpleasant. Highland whisky orange notes. Quite impressive for the kick 3.5 bottle at The New Inn Canterbury. Clear amber colour no head. Eating apple aroma some caramelised apple. Remarkably smooth. Just a hint of heat on the finish. Wow. Sweetish apple. Like a caramelised apple tart. Pretty sweet. Rather good. Way too sweet. Worth it though.

Cask at Bree Louise. Pours a clear, extremely light yellow with a few bubbles. Apple and sugar aroma with some must. Moderately sweep with nice apple notes and mild funk. Light bodied with almost no carbonation. Fishes sweet and semi-dry with lingering apple. Good stuff.

Very pale. Winey, soft and sweetish. Tastes like Canadian industrial cider. Quite lame - why bother?
