Tasting notes

Taster Dominic Roskrow

Nose: Lightweight, grassy, over-ripe fluffy apple.
Palate: Winey, young fruit, more wet grass than bluegrass.
Finish: Over-polite for a bourbon.
Comment: An oddball. Like an over-thin model: neither very attractive and not much in the way of body.

5.8

Taster Dave Broom

Nose: Odd. Bread and butter pudding, soft fudge. Behind a dry grassiness teetering into off notes. Becomes cloying with water. Cold caramel pudding.
Palate: Oxidised wine, blackberry and in time a buttermilk sourness. Clumsy.
Finish: Claggy.
Comment: Very poor. Still, after this and the Buffalo Trace experiments we can say that bourbon and Chardonnay don't mix. So, let's move on.
