Tasting notes

Taster Rob Allanson

Nose: Deep forest floor notes, piles of leaves, allotment bonfires in the distance,turned soil. Then there is sweetness, strawberry laces, hazelnut chocolateand honey nut cornflakes.
Palate: Bran muffin dough with an earthy note developing. Masses of sherry soaked raisins and mango chutney.
Finish: Big spicy explosion and then a lingering savouriness.
Comment: A serious autumnal dram.

8.3

Taster Neil Ridley

Nose: A big sherry influence, with polished wood, Brazil nut shells, a hint of struckmatch/sandpaper, dark chocolate and turned earth.
Palate: Chocolate malt, bitter cocoa, some burnt caramel, dried fruits (dates and figs) and molasses. As dark in flavour as you could get. Then one darker.
Finish: The remnants of dried fruit mix with some oaky dryness.
Comment: A bold statement, this one. If you like heavily sherried drams, this will appeal, if not, perhaps time to reconsider.
