Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Oak dominant, quite hard, dry bracken. Lots of bark-like woodiness, pine,\rgarden clippings, old pine needles, vegetal, then comes sweet\rcaramelised wood and a hint of custard. Bourbon like...

Palate: ...but it isn't because it doesn't have the sweetness. Dry spirit and dry wood.

Finish: Firm oak.

Comment: Lost in the forest like Hansel and Gretel, but before they find the house\rof sweets.

Score: 7.2

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Nutty and oaky. Autumnal fruit. Medlars, cooked apples.

Palate: Crisp and dry. Sherbety. Oak prevails and frames toffee apples. Getting\rspicier and drier.

Finish: Dry and spicy, slightly warming. Dusty.

Comment: The alcohol is not completely mastered. This whisky needs a good\rdash of water and gets fruitier.

Score: 7.5
