Tasting notes

Taster Arthur Motley

Nose: A very fruity nose: ripe melon, bananas and kiwis. Milk chocolate, digestive biscuits, and pear drops.
Palate: Lots of bourbon character, with vanilla, refresher sweets and some mint.
Finish: Milk chocolate, and a trace of sulphur.
Comment: Lip-smackingly mature.

8.3

Taster Dave Broom

Nose: Rich, mature wooded notes. Coconut and cocoa overlaying some tropical fruits. With water a sweaty saddle note.
Palate: Rounded and silky. Cherry stone. Good length and feel. Plenty of wood on show here. Bourbon like.
Finish: Sweet spices and oak.
Comment: A ripe dram which seems to have headed across to Kentucky. Big and lush.
