Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Lightly floral and powdery to start with green banana,lily of the valley, peach blossom, then balanced, creamy/creme brulee oak giving a needed backbone.

Palate: Very pure,extending that peach/floral character into light jasmine. Creamy with red fruits and a zesty citric lift .

Finish: The tropical fruits bunch together, then burst in the throat.

Comment: A gorgeous,luscious dram. 'Morangie to the max.

Score: 8.9

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Tangy. Grassy. Freshly cut grass. Aniseed. Fennel. The sharp tanginess rounds up on time as vanilla slowly creeps in. Gets creamier and creamier.

Palate: Silky and caressing feel. Smooth but crisp too. Aniseed drop. Juicy William pear.

Finish: Fizzy,lingering and lemony.

Comment: A lovely sunny dram,far more complex than expected. Pure and straight. A beautiful first fill bourbon style.
