Westerhall White Jack Tasting Notes

Nose: Initially there’s a certain heavy meatiness, like yeasty bread dipped into a thick split pea soup; salt, brine, olives, fresh bell peppers.

Palate: Very intense, unsurprising at the strength. Nuts, cream, butter, quite creamy, and tasting both of sweet and salt.

Finish: You wouldn’t think there’s more than a hot last of spicy fumes, but actually, it’s not bad.
