Tasting notes

Taster Kate Portman (nee Ennis)

Nose: Bourbon notes combined with more fragrant cedar wood. There are also hints of cloves and cinnamon.
Palate: Very fruity to begin with berry flavours,with echoes of port,then the sweet spice comes through. It's assertive but not aggressive.
Finish: Long and warming,with spice and zesty orange peel.
Comment: A wonderfully complex dram for contemplation.

8.5

Taster Dave Broom

Nose: Richly sweet. Créme bruleé. Bourbon-like. Peach,vanilla pod. mocha,toasted marshmallow,millionaire shortbread (butter, caramel,chocolate). sweet spice
Palate: Soft and unctuous,almost jammy, some honey cedar.Very juicy and mouth watering.
Finish: Long silky.
Comment: That rare commodity...a mature grain. Snap it up quick the industry is in short supply!
