Nose: Malted grains, coffee, tyre rubber, sea salt, caramel, lemon zest. 
Mouthfeel: Light body, cool, watery around the edges, expands slightly.

Finish: Medium. Lemon zest, burnt orange peel, vanilla, coffee. 

Comments: 

Cask 1801504. Quite a bitter expression this, unexpectedly so. But it’s still redolent of fruit and vanilla, it just has a toasted, sulphurous edge. It’s by no means unpleasant, in fact it creates a nice complexity. 

Verdict:

I like this.
