Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Back to the laundry basket. Smoke again. Oysters,fresh mushroom\rand lemon.

Palate: Broad and smoky,almost into smoked haddock (yella fush) then nuts and a hint of coal. Teasing white pepper and dried fruit Fragrant yet weighty. Good balance.

Finish: Long gently smoked with raisin.

Comment: Fantastic balance and richness of character.

Score: 8.5

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Smoke is less intense than the last one. Fully of burnt orange and a sort of\rfresh fish smell.

Palate: That smoke note develops into hot smoked salmon,sweet and oily. Some\rdried fruit in there as well.

Finish: Just keeps on giving.

Comment: A wonderful marriage of peat and sherry, perfect harmony.

Score: 8.9
