Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Pale pink in hue. Crisp to start with light hints of pomegranate juice and lightly stewed fruits. Although there's a certain earthiness here it still seems a little immature.

Palate: Fruity but still a green unripe edge - again suggestive of immaturity or a lack of interaction with cask.

Finish: Improves. Creamy with red fruit but too late for me.

Comment: We all know 'Dronach is capable of better. This is a relic of an old regime.\rBetter things will come in the future.

Score: 7.1

Taster

Nose: First of all, the orangey colour is quite striking. A port finish ? Definite winey aromas. Sweet plums. A cheesy touch. Strawberry icecream. Oatcakes.

Palate: Sweet. Very sweet. A bit too much. Summer fruit pudding. A nice fizzy feel.\rWhite pepper and ginger.

Finish: Spicy and less sweet.

Comment: First impression is too much sweetness but the good spicy notes balance it. Quite satisfying in the end. I would like it on crushed ice.

Score: 8.1
