Re-rating. Much better nose, taste and palate this time. Previous rating on 16/07/12 =5+4+4+3+12=2.8 50cl bottle. Pours a dark, slightly hazy with a nicely proportioned head. The nose has a slightly sweaty, perhaps herby, aroma. The taste has metallic flavours with a herby finish. The palate is light to medium in body with a really drying mouthfeel which continues through the long finish. Overall, the palate is actually fairly substantial and long but is it pleasant - I would say, not that pleasant.

50cl bottle from Gordon and MacPhail. Pours a honey colour with a nicely proportioned head. The nose has honey and medicinal herbs. The taste has more honey, a grassy, almost metallic dryness follows or dare I say it, seaweed. The palate has a medium body with a tangy middle and although there is good bitterness, the metallic thing is a little too much for me. Overall, I’ve had worse, but won’t be having another.

Bottle at Per’s, thanks! Found it murky brown body. Off white, grayish head. Malty nose, dominated by bourbon but not too strong, raisins. Tart taste, raisins, bourbon, light. Slightly tart going in the aftertaste, but not that there’s much of it. Honestly, not sure what I think of it. Not bad, not brilliant.
