Tasting notes

Taster Dave Broom

Nose: Deep and generously fruity:passion fruit, blackcurrant leaf,cloudy apple, sloe,bruised plums. Juicy. Needs time to open then there's toffee.
Palate: Beautiful flow with those juicy black fruits bursting into life in the middle. Long,silky and multi-layered with anintriguing oiliness.
Finish: Blackberry and pomegranate, then dry spices.
Comment: Best neat. A sumptuous whiskey. Highly recommended.
