Member Ratings and Notes

Dave

Peppermint and citrus - light malts in background - Palate is more of the same. Hot vanillas and some heavy oak spice that was not on the nose after a second or two. Finish is medium and not really anything but lingering oak resin.

Andy

n: lemon

p: Lemon and chili paste. Feels like it's going somewhere but just doesn't. All too typical an Auchroisk. Why SMWS picked this, I don't know. Bah!

Chris

N: Tobacco, leafy, tea.
P: Very tea-like, almost like green tea, crisp but flavorful. Hint of vanilla.
F: Quite long with the tea notes continuing on.
I liked this immediately, its light and refreshing with an unusual profile.

Fuji

Very light with not much going on. Lots of pine wood and spice with a very short finish. Tasted blind.
