Tasting Notes

Kate Portman (nee Ennis)

Taster

Nose: A hint of coconut and sweet vanilla. Initially doesn't give too much away but evolves in the glass.

Palate: Bursts on the tongue with rich dark,almost burnt caramel,like cinder toffee.

Finish: Sprightly and intense.

Comment: Nothing neutral about this - a real character.

Score: 7.9

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Generous and big. Creamed coconut, then mango,pine,caramel,barley sugar,vanilla and a kumquat citric\rlift. Complex.

Palate: Finely tuned with more complexity than many would expect from a grain. Spicy oak adds structure to the gentle mellow mid palate. Toffee.

Finish: Long and gentle.

Comment: Complex and characterful.

Score: 8.5
