Nose: Mild and fruity. Green bananas and mango with a sprinkling of white pepper. Vanilla.

Taste: Medium body, and a bit rough in character. White pepper, vanilla and ginger. A bitter-ish touch of rowan berries. 

Finish: Medium to short finish. Picks up in spiciness actually. Fine peppery notes. A touch of oakiness.

Comment: Again fairly easy drinking, with some spiciness added. Comes across as a bit young.
