Tasting Notes

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Malt loaf and butter, damp coffee grinds, light sherry, boxes of raisins, damp woodland, demerara sugar, nougat and then some spices.

Palate: Very light and powdery, caster sugar and pastry. Honey roast peanut boxes. A manuka honey sweetness to it. A touch of spent match and gentle wood smoke. Oak shavings and pencil cases.

Finish: A liquorice bitterness, and Earl Grey tea edge, tempered with those oak spices.

Comment: A well balanced whiskey.

Score: 8.2

Neil Ridley

Taster

Nose: Hot terracotta tiles, mineral salts, perfumed lavender pomander and acacia honey. Time reveals a touch of ashy cigar smoke.

Palate: Passion fruit, more lavender, creamed coconut a touch of milky cornflakes and then it's off into drying Bourbon casks. Nicely balanced betwixt soaring fruit and oak.

Finish: Creamy oak and bergamot.

Comment: A no nonsense, yet elegant Bourbon.

Score: 8.4
