Tasting notes

Taster Dave Broom

Nose: Light and grassy and slightly stony to start. In time there's sweet persimmon and nut.
Palate: Pure and very clean. Sweet lime,green fruits then a hint of smoke and a buttery meadowsweet/chamomile note. Light to the point of fragility.
Finish: Honey,lemon and a little ginger.
Comment: Delicacy to the fore. A breakfast dram.
