Tasting notes

Taster Dave Broom

Nose: A fascinating, oily mix of soot and perfume: smoke and lilies. White pepper, oak and sage leaves.
Palate: Rounded with bags of personality and citrus fruits giving it an acidic zestiness. Spice (ginger/nutmeg) and oak as well and an overall oily, briny quality.
Finish: Dies a little after the exciting nose.
Comment: Drink neat.

8.3

Taster Michael Jackson

Nose: Salty. Cookie-like maltiness. A hint of banana.
Palate: Medium-bodied. Firm. Oily. Some coconut. Some apricot-like sherry character. Winey, even.
Finish: Leafy. Vine leaves. Cedary, dry, slightly bitter. Some smokiness.
Comment: Robust, but lacks the delicacy and structure of the best Springbanks.
