Tasting notes

Taster Dave Broom

Nose: Sweet with a toasty note. Digestive biscuits, weetabix and creamy oak.
Palate: Gentle with a syrupyquality. Light but good and much sweeter than the nose implies.
Finish: Discreet and short.
Comment: Does exactly what it sets out to do.

7.5

Taster Martine Nouet

Nose: Tangy. Green oak. Fresh sawdust. Smells young like new spirit. A hint of toffee.
Palate: Smooth,mellow and sweet. And the same youth impression. Grainy with a bitter taste.
Finish: Dry,bitter and rather short.
Comment: Grain overwhelms malt. And the young character of that whisky does not impress much.
