Cask No. 60.45

The nose opened with a gently floral, hibiscus aroma, one which also incorporated cream soda, light fruit teas, gooseberry and meadowsweet. We also detected green tea, a spritzed bitter Italian aperitif of gentian, rhubarb, and cinchona, and the light perfume of geranium flower. Reduction brought a dusty cereal edge and revealed shoe polish, rye bread and trampled dandelion. The neat palate was nicely waxy, evoking putty, grappa, fruit eaux de vie and yellow fruits. With water it became slightly drier and showed camphor, peach yoghurt, white buttered bread and sunflower oil.
