Tasting Notes

Gavin Smith

Taster

Nose: Mildly metallic, then warm machine oil. Lightly spicy cereal notes.

Palate: Oily, with off fruits, but soon starts to dry.

Finish: Liquorice and rather bitter oak.

Comment: The finish is too bitter to give real balance.

Score: 6.9

Joe Bates

Taster

Nose: Distinctly earthy scents here, even a little sulphorous. In the background there are some citrusy notes too.

Palate: This whiskey puts the ‘s’ in smooth and is very drinkable. In the wings are some intriguing lemon, clove and menthol notes.

Finish: Curiously cooling finish, but delightfully smooth overall.

Comment: A curious beast this one – the odd nose belies an attractively smooth tasting whiskey with some very interesting flavours.

Score: 8.4
