Following up my previous review I thought I would write up this one as I only have a few drams left in this bottle.
Unchill filtered, no coloring added.
Nose: Sharp barley with coco powder accents in a tub full of vanilla pudding. The smell of this one is very enjoyable.
Taste: very light and crisp, alcohol burn the races up the nose. bitter lemon citrus flavors coming thru making themselves felt towards the end.
Finish: Very quick finish starting with a sweet cereal that fades as soon as it starts. It then heads off towards bitterness that I can only describe as bar soap, you know the type you mother punished you with when you were a kids for doing something wrong. Hugely disappointing.
I received this 500cc bottle as a Christmas gift in 2011 and it's been sitting in my cabinet opened since that Christmas. I keep hoping that the oxidation will eventually help it. Since I'm at the end of this bottle I don't think anything can help it.
I know Organics are all the rage today. I know I prefer my food this way too, but really too much hype here and not enough follow thru. Save your hard earned cash and buy the 10 laddie you will enjoy it more.
