Tasting Notes

Arthur Motley

Taster

Nose: The memory of grazed knees (pink dettol), pickled ginger and rescue remedy. Creosoted fenceposts and a little chlorine whiff. Some earthiness and lavender, and becoming floral.

Palate: Creosote, coal tar and aniseed. Smoked hickory.

Finish: Burnt twigs after a marshmallow toasting.

Comment: Another good example from Mr Consistency, Caol Ila.

Score: 8.3

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Intense. An immediate hit of Dettol and hospital corridors then a switch to oyster shell freshness. The smoke drifts away in time revealing a complex fruity centre.

Palate: Still medicinal and briny seashore aromas above an oily softness. Great impact.

Finish: Phenolic, coal tar lozenge. Fantastic length.

Comment: Fishy yet sweet. Kipper crumble in a hospital anyone?

Score: 8.5
