Tasting notes and scoring by whisky.be
Score 91/100
Nose: Sour berries up front, always a good sign. Then this typical leafy earthiness, with some dunnage notes and light concrete dust. Back to pink grapefruits. Some herbal tea. A whiff of thuja oil and leather in the background. Really nice.
Palate: A tad funky at first, in a good way. It’s not a tropical fruit bomb but there are moderately Irish hints of pink grapefruit and blood orange. Nice chalky notes, something vaguely smoky even. Then tobacco comes out, with a little pepper and more leafy notes.
Finish: long, slightly herbal and dry, even a little salty, with the fruity sourness behind it.
