Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Shows maturity, with a lifted estery quality. More perfumed and floral with water. Digestive biscuits and nutmeggy spiciness then clove.

Palate: Seamless and highly energetic. Layered fruits, dark chocolate and a dazzling array of spices that fly over the tongue.

Finish: Sparkling. Complex.

Comment: Another killer from Mr Walker's warehouse. Distillery of the year for me.

Score: 8.8

Arthur Motley

Taster

Nose: Honeysuckle, gala melon and some sweet, oily terpentine notes. Vanilla-infused rice pudding, baked sweet gammon and powdered almonds.

Palate: Peaches in sweet syrup, orange, grass. Marzipan and sultana cookies, made with nutmeg.

Finish: Drying tannins that balance the earlier sweetness.

Comment: Proudly and confidently mature.

Score: 8.5
