Right, so this one’s quite lively straight off. Green apples and gooseberries, maybe a squeeze of lime. There’s a wee peppery tingle but it’s gentle, not shouting. Nosing it, I get cut apple and a slightly herbal green tea with lemon thing. A bit of grist, plain oatcakes — reminds me of buttered soda bread, just lightly toasted. Sipping, it’s easy. More citrus rind, some zesty lemon, then a soft oaky note. Young, a bit like a Laddie I once had. The barley comes through nicely, almost like buttered oatcakes again. Finish isn’t massive, more medium, with a dry cereal note. Makes me want another pour, and maybe a beer after. 🍋🌾
