Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Light peat smoke gives a perfume to a sweet nose: tablet, demerara sugar, dried fruits (mango as well as grape). Water makes it more phenolic.

Palate: Hot with sweet treacle, black banana, raisin, firm oak and that delicate smoke. Very sweet and honeyed.

Finish: Gentle, long. Good balance.

Comment: Balanced, as whiskies of this age should be but just too sweet for this palate.

Score: 7.8

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Fresh saw. Pine resin. Nutty. Hazelnut milk chocolate. A mineral touch. Wet pebble.

Palate: Mild and round. Vanilla toffee, with a distinct bitter oakiness.

Finish: Medium, salty feel, nutty.

Comment: Oak is present all the way. A bit dull. Lacks vividness.

Score: 7.5
