Tasting notes

Taster Dave Broom

Nose: Weighty and substantial, mixing dry and soft notes: light toffee, sugared almond, vanilla, honey. Attractive.
Palate: Sweet, concentrated and very long and soft. Spicy and fruity with a firm body giving it drive and some complexity.
Finish: Big and generous.
Comment: Great balance and great character.

7.8

Taster Michael Jackson

Nose: Dryish, grainy. Much drier than the Scott's version. Longer in the wood, of course.
Palate: Firm, smooth. Citrussy, orangey.
Finish: Marmalade-like bitterness.
Comment: Somewhat one-dimensional.
