Dram

Nose: White pepper, yoghurt, cinder toffee, malted grains, lemon zest, hints of green peppers. 
Mouthfeel: Light body, chalky, loosens slightly, tingly. 
Tasting:  Bitter sour. Yoghurt, lemon zest, malted grains, wheat, fresh cut grass, hints of hoppy beer. 
Finish: Medium. Fresh cut grass, lemon zest, malted grains, hints of tyre rubber. 

Comments: 

Spicy and butyric, with a vegetal undertone. The mouth feel is gritty and chalky, rather odd. There’s also some sulphur on the finish. This has been sourced from the Great Northern Distillery.

Verdict:

I like this.
