Tasting notes

Taster Chris Goodrum

Nose: Intense, grainy Bourbon oak. Gritty tannins. Herbal and hoppy with apricot, honey and tangerine. Hints of rum-like dried fruit. Like a grain whisky with water.
Palate: Soft and honeyed with light coffee and oxidised fruit. Darker flavours in the middle as a treacle note emerges. Less oak than the nose. Water emphasises the dried fruit and spices.
Finish: Very oily with the herbal note returning and the treacle note lingering. Quite dry and alcoholic neat. Water lengthens but still dry.
Comment: My only quibble is that it’s a bit dry on the finish. Best with a drop of water.

Taster Joel Harrison

Nose: Again we have an active sherry cask which just gives me plum chutney and a hint of mango. Maybe some cherry drops in the background, adding sweetness to the nose.
Palate: Sweetness as you'd expect coupled with a hint of treacle and rich fruit cake.
Finish: A hint of salt and more of that fruit cake, but this time with icing.
Comment: I'd have this in place of a slice of wedding cake, next time I find myself celebrating someone's nuptials.
