2008, SMWS
Single malt - Central Highlands
White wine
57.3% ABV
Dram

Nose: Hazelnuts, peanuts, walnut skins, lemons, hints of banana.
Mouthfeel: Light body, initially loose, thickens.
Tasting: Bitter salty. Hazelnuts, peanuts, bitter gourd, grass, hay.
Finish: Medium. Peanuts, walnut skins, bitter gourd.

Comments:

Bitter and grassy, and quite interesting for all that. Not sweet enough I suppose, or peaty enough, just with a lingering undercurrent of bitter gourd. I don't mind a sniff or a hint, but it runs through the mouth and into the finish...

Verdict:

Not bad.
