Ein leicht süßer und öliger Geruch, etwas Ester. Der Geschmack ist zuerst leicht süß, wird dann schärfer, ganz angenehm. Der Nachklang ist eher kurz.

Very pleasant surprise: fairly quiet nose (by hampden standards) palate was mineralic, dry, clean and superb grapefruit, with touches of olive and salt to finish. Not rough at all. Distillate still delivers at 40%.
