SMWS 54.42 A washing day in Spring

Speyside, Spey The nose was clean and fresh as a Spring washing day – laundered sheets flapping on the line, daffodils and cut grass – lemon meringue pie, lemon and lime sorbet, Madeira cake and dry shavings of wood. All that citric freshness appeared on the palate – with good sweetness to balance (lemon drops, rhubarb rock, sponge cake, lime marmalade on toast); it also had lively wood spice heat and some zest and pith bitterness on the finish.
