Tasting notes

Taster Rob Allanson

Nose: A big hit of nuts but with a sweet fudge note. Almost Snickers bars,but there is a spiced edge to it as well.
Palate: Spiceyness continues on the palate with a bitterness. A hint of Dove soap, but not in a bad way.
Finish: Solid with chocolate tones.
Comment: A fairly substantial whisky that delivers what you expect.

7.5

Taster Dave Broom

Nose: Edgy. Toffee and caramel. Dry on top but ripe fruits beneath. Dry coconut. Again a real fresh nuttiness this time coupled with extra spiciness.
Palate: Immediate vibrancy but there's a slightly soapy,perfumed note underneath. Crisp and malty. Into fruitand nut chocolate and just a little soapy vibrant with a perfumed underneath crisp malty notes.
Finish: The perfume comes back.
Comment: Nose is very promising,not sure about the palate.
