Cask at The Gordon Highlander. It pours clearish dirty blonde with a decent fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, fragrant, honeyed grain, biscuit, white bread and sponge cake. The taste is firmly dry, fragrant, green, herbal, coriander is quite prominent, grass, biscuit, slightly soapy, sweet raisin and sultana with a drying finish. Average body and fine carbonation. Maybe a bit too fragrant / soapy.
