A slow burning treat, interesting and novel after a fashion.
Rye bread and wheat notes. Sharp fruits leaning towards sharper cider at the end. A definite touch of ginger in the mix. This mellows given air as it doesn't do itself full justice until it breathes. A bit mouth puckering even then but not in a bad way. I quite enjoyed the experience but this is punchy. Think the opposite of speyside without peat. Also a metallic note left behind, but again, not a negative in this context.
So a dram with character and some challenge. I'm a fan because it is not cookie cutter but neither is it weird. This is easier to drink than my notes might indicate. Take a walk on the wild side!
