A generous taste courtesy of Pie Chef Guy.
This bottle is a store pick and is cask strength.
To start off, I like the nose, but the taste and finish were underwhelming.
The nose is short and strongly laced with fresh berries and light perfume.
The taste is very grainy. There is a strong note of wood shavings and a citrus cleaner (lemon pledge?). It's also a bit salty which I don't find works with the sweet citrus note.
The finish takes an odd 180 leaving behind a peppery note of being kicked in the teeth by an old wooden clog.
