SMWS 41.99 - A breath of fresh airThe nose has orange fruit gums, green apples and a hint of lime. The mouthfeel is thin with no cling. The body has the fruits from the nose, then vanilla and a little peach. The finish is green apple and vanilla.

Water brings out thick whorling that expands rapidly and then settles into brief mottling. The nose gains mango and toffee, and loses the fruit gums. The body gains mango. The finish gains mango.

A very good dram for summer mornings.
