Utterly clear golden liquid but sporting a snowwhite foam whilst pouring; still. Pouring already gives a dry, tarry, almost tannine-like nose - rather than alcohol. Sweet, not dry; dried apples from last years' harvest, sweet grain, and in the background the almost smokey whisky. Long-lasting sweetness. Dry-ish impression all the same - short of phenolic. Builds a film on the mucoses. Quite interesting cider. Yet; Glen Moray being a quite discreet, subtle whisky, I cannot help wondering what an Islay cask might have yielded. Thanks to Joren!

Free bottle from Webb Chapel Beer(he thought it was too old) Clear, pale orange brown, very thin head. Iced tea & ginger, bittersweet browned apple skin, malic acid. Sweet, sort of flat, ginger tea, lemon & condensed apple skin flavor, oxidation. Too floral. Too sweet. Thin, sharp, malic acid, flat soda. Okay.

Handpull at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Reddish purple, clear, a bit thin-looking. Berry and apple skin aroma. Taste is mostly sweet with a gorgeous tangy bite hitting the front of the tongue with last throughout the long finish, giving intensity to the oily mouthfeel. Nil carbonation. Lovely.
