Review #168 - Wolfburn Aurora BLIND
Color - Ripe Corn
Nose - Honey, flowers, honey fades into pear juice, vanilla, sweet nectarines - tons of white fruit
Palate - White grapes, caramel, bready, honey
Finish - Medium - Honey, Chardonnay, butter, simple sugar - sticky
Overall - 5.5 - My first impression is a white wine/sauturnes finish. It does have a little bit of AnCnoc to it in the juice. It also reminds me a little of Arran 10 on the palate with that bready caramel, except way sweeter. Personally, it comes off a touch too sweet for me, I would drink it if in the mood but it is not a daily drinker for me. This is a scotch version of a digestif. Water wipes out the subtleties and makes it sweeter.
Rating system is price influenced as it is based on my shopping decisions when buying a bottle.
