Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Layered and complex. Murray mint, stewed fruit. Water brings toffee, scented wood, vanilla pod. Deepens to treacle toffee, a lift of ginger biscuits, and dried peach. Elegant.

Palate: Everything on the nose plus an added spiciness dried flower, Turkish delight, hot pine.

Finish: Long slightly oaked but still fresh.

Comment: A dazzling quality you only get when cask and spirit have been in a long slow dance.

Score: 8.5

Arthur Motley

Taster

Nose: Ripe melons and sultanas. Sawdust and a lightly antiseptic Savlon note. With a little more time mango, white chocolate and a lemon butter icing.

Palate: Raisins, lemon biscuits and a toasty oakiness that is almost lightly medicinal.

Finish: Spicy oak.

Comment: Elegant, complex and satisfying.

Score: 8.5
