Tasting Notes

Arthur Motley

Taster

Nose: Fragrant, like a guava or kushi pear. Floor polish, mint syrup, artificial cherry flavour and a whiff of wood glue.

Palate: Orange, raisins, goosberries and a balsa woodiness indicating a good bit of age.

Finish: A light burnt character, and possibly some rose. Relatively subtle, whispering of its age.

Comment: Complex, old, not perfect, but good darned fun!

Score: 8.5

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Intense, mature and complex. Fruit coulis made from slightly tart hedgerow fruits and mint. Raspberry leaf, light cream, beech nut, patisserie.

Palate: Layers of flavour with a zesty, citric quality. Balanced oak, Seville orange, mulled wine. Firm and nutty structure but has sweetness to balance.

Finish: Long, generous, complex.

Comment: This is a stunningly great whisky, subtle and profound...
