Tasting Notes

Gavin Smith

Taster

Nose: Gentle and delicate, with pear drops and developing caramel.

Palate: Smooth, with soft fruit, white pepper and oak.

Finish: Oakiness continues. Quite short, with a sprinkling of white pepper.

Comment: A little too short in the finish.

Score: 7.2

Joe Bates

Taster

Nose: Somewhat light and summery on the nose with herbal aromas, lemon and honey vying for attention.

Palate: An initial rush of vanilla and honey, drying quickly with some toasted spices and drying oak.

Finish: Long, dry and some spice.

Comment: All in all very moreish whisky with some oaky bite adding a bit of oomph. Really rather good.

Score: 8.8
