Tasting notes

Taster Rob Allanson

Nose: Another clean nose with a good rye grip. There is fruit here but all is balanced perfectly.
Palate: The rye is sharp and concentrated after a sweet Golden Syrup start. There is a hint of toffee apple and spun sugar.
Finish: Leaves you wanting more.
Comment: Not quite an in your face rye but shows balance and promise.

8.0

Taster Dave Broom

Nose: Solid vanilla and chocolate with some mashed banana and clean dry spiciness behind. Cold green tea,vine flower. Oddly Cognac like.
Palate: No Cognac here though! The honeyed start fools you then it dries intensely and begins to build in spiced intensity. Clean and well balanced. Some green fennel notes.
Finish: Closes down nicely.
Comment: Balanced and controlled.
