Tasting notes

Taster Rob Allanson

Nose: A heavy tobacco, humidor note. Burnt sugar, orange marmalade, treacle anda little Parkin cake.
Palate: Full on and complex. Vanilla, cinnamon and orange marmalade soak through the alcohol.
Finish: Long, it lingers.
Comment: A full on bourbon. A rollercoaster ride worth taking.

8.5

Taster Martine Nouet

Nose: Intense. Burnt caramel. Maple syrup. Sour plum jam. Prunes. A waxy touch. Cedar wood.
Palate: Crisp. Burning. Spices tease the tongue. The alcohol is sharp.
Finish: Quite long, spicy. A nutty aftertaste.
Comment: Rich and deep but the alcohol is not mastered. Too much of a burning dram for me.
