Serge Valentin (86)

Colour: pale gold. Nose: a cleaner one again, soft, easier, on raisins and shortbread, brioche, biscuits, all that. After that, more floral notes and a bit of sour apple. With water: ale and cider. Mouth (neat): really all on orange liqueur, marmalade, with drops of agave syrup and gritty/sour apples again. That creates a rather perfect balance. With water: ale and cider, once again, then orange blossom water and chamomile tea. There ‘s always a pleasant greenness in the background, which keeps it on the rails. Finish: medium, fresh, with a few hints of ripe bananas. Which is not uncommon in Arran, if I remember well. Comments: easy, classic, irrefutable. Just not astoundingly
