Tasting notes

Taster Gavin D. Smith

Nose: Initially rather reticent, with acetone and developing grain giving way to a treacly, slightly smoky note.
Palate: Medium-bodied, with a hint of honey, then darker treacle and stewed fruits dominate.
Finish: Liquorice and oak - quite lengthy.
Comment: A whiskey with complexity, character and some age to it.

8.3

Taster Dave Broom

Nose: Big and generous. Shifting into coffee cake with butter icing. Water makes it reminiscent of a bodega then comes mint, citrus zest and in time tanned leather. Grist-like sweetness.
Palate: Better grip, some substance and a dried fruit edge along with red liquorice.
Finish: Firm, nutty and clean.
Comment: Good flow, balance and grip. A powerhouse.
