"Strong herbal notes on the nose. Mango and tropical esters. Earthy, flinty mineral flavours with savoury, wet leaves tastes and singed grains. Hints of melted butter but remains interestingly dry. Almost tails flavours but intriguing and improves with each re taste. Complex with a medium long finish."

"The nose has a confected fruit start, I pick up raspberries, strawberries, quite fruity with a touch of Chocolate and orange. The palate is pretty smooth, no sharp edges and well intergrated alcohol. The sweet fruit perception comes through which is pleasant. This feels like a vodka the mass consumer could enjoy. "

"Light toastiness and cereal on the nose. Pronounced sweetness with a touch of honey/golden syrup. Warm, soft, and slightly floral finish"

"Lightly confected start on the nose. Behind this there is some chocolate and touch of coffee. The palate introduces confected pears, apples, root earthiness, liqourice, a touch of toasted bread, quite a bit of complexity. It feels quite malty and almost new make. Its quite heavy and weighty. I like the maltiness, bread and chocolate. Very comforting. "

"Light hint of bison grass on the nose, green grass and a touch of pine needle. Small hints of citrus and touch of almond. Its spicy on the palate and has a bit of chilli heat as well as a chewy texture which I quite like. The alcohol on the palate will be pleasant to some and not so pleasant to others. It feels quite neutral, drying on the palate and relatively pleasant. "
