Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Lightly caramelised notes, yoghurt-covered nuts, raisin/burnt cakes. Brioche, jammy.

Palate: Firmer than the 21 Years Old with more obvious nutty oak over the top of Wine Gums and tayberry.

Finish: Becomes sweet. Plump dates.

Comment: A rich sweet and fairly deep dram.

Score: 7.8

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Malty and nutty with a grassy note. Basil. Lemon balm. Redcurrant jelly. An unpleasant sulphury hint at times.

Palate: Sweet with a sharper core. Citrussy. Grapefuit peel.

Finish: Fruity and mellow. Rhubarb jam.

Comment: Good balance. A fruity profile. To be enjoyed with a lemon-meringue pie or a syllabub.
