Tasting notes

Taster Arthur Motley

Nose: Bananas, green apples and lots of dry woody spices. Mango lassi.
Palate: A big broad texture on the tongue with sweet pale sultanas, caramel and a sweet breadiness.
Finish: A little drying spice.
Comment: Yummy. Luxurious texture and sweetness.

8.3

Taster Dave Broom

Nose: Lightly malty with plenty of sweet spices. Water brings a fluffy citrus quality and butteriness.
Palate: Acetone and menthol. Deepens in the middle where it becomes quiet chewy. Better with water, those dusty spices adding interest.
Finish: Nutty and clean, with decent length, some concentrated fruit.
Comment: Balanced and with good weight. A good addition to the range.
