Nose is light with a bit of tea/mint flair. I personally get a faint white peach at the end.
Palate has definite grapefuit/musk/pine tones from the beer. I think it was 'just right' but if you were having an ipa with this it probably would be too tame. Theres a fantastic lemon and butter kiss after the IPA that really, really makes me wish Jamo would put out more "step-up from standard jamo" offerings. Reminds me of something I'd fill a flask with for a nice classy night out in my younger days.
Finish is nice and crisp. Pot-still (while not totally) by the big name is expectedly enjoyable. The fun open and refined bite make for a very refreshing dram indeed.
Was torn between 3.25 and 3.5 but it gets that little extra bit for being so well-composed.
