Tasting notes

Taster Dave Broom

Nose: Big, soft-hearted nose: honeycomb, mead, exotic spice, rose petal, butter, light wood and ozone.
Palate: Hugely silky and ripe: a whiff of smoke, peach, mango. All very rich, waxy and long.
Finish: Soft, honeyed and gentle with some light smoke.
Comment: Voluptuous and deeply sexy. More of a cousin to Black than a brother.

9.0

Taster Michael Jackson

Nose: Fruit-unpeeled apricot? Fragrant. Hint of creamy peppermint.
Palate: Silky. Delicate. Scottish tablet. Kendal mint cake. Very subtle fruitness.
Finish: More delicate minty dryness.
Comment: Stylish and cool. Supper club whisky.
