Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: White bread and pine with some mintiness, tangerine peel and bluebells. Becomes slightly lactic with water.

Palate: Milk-soaked bread with raisins and a bit too much cinnamon and nutmeg for my taste. Some will love this. For me it's lost balance.

Finish: Condensed milk.

Comment: A love or hate dram.

Score: 7

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Delicate, floral. A mix of gorse and gillyflowers. Some freesia too maybe. Jasmine tea. Followed by citrus and custardy aromas. Enticing. A soft cereal note. Water enhances grassy notes.

Palate: Smooth. Thin velvet. A lovely fresh aniseed and creamy profile. Dries out\ron spices and almond.

Finish: Drier but still creamy. Medium long.

Comment: A luscious whisky, clean, lively and fresh. A midsummer night dram?

Score: 8.5
