Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Fragrant. Grass, bracken and lemon peel. In time mead-like, spiced apple cider, coconut. Deep but perfumed.

Palate: Sweet start, mixing syrup, spices, apple, glacé cherry and sweet grasses. Well-balanced.

Finish: Slightly bitter nuttiness.

Comment: Highly attractive. Worth having a look at.

Score: 7.8

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Hazelnuts. White pepper. An echo of fresh paint. Light fruit then fudge. Orange chocolate.

Palate: Tangy. Gingery. Quiet one-dimensional. Almond cake.

Finish: Spicy, slowly fading on creamy toffee.

Comment: More complexity on the nose than on the palate. A pleasant whisky though. But quite disappointing for a Strathisla of that age.

Score: 7.8
