The nose was absolutely fabulous, this deep gold dram hits you with Virginia blond tobacco and a hint of turpentine upfront, which sounds weird but there's something intriguing about it. Vanilla comes through nicely, but then there's this UHU glue sort of thing lurking in the background, not sure if that's a good or bad thing. The palate starts lemony, quite zesty, but then shifts to a nicer lemony side with fresh raspberries and mint leaves - proper summery stuff. Though there's this weird plastic-like soapiness that's a bit off, and an acetic kick that feels a bit like old-style suntan lotion. It's got this delicacy to it, especially the raspberry notes, but the overall profile feels a bit un-BB&R if you catch my drift. The finish leaves a strange turpentine trail mixed with chamomile tea and hay, not your usual dram but not unpleasant either. Just quite long, and definitely something to ponder over.
