Tasting Notes

Gavin Smith

Taster

Nose: Initially very slightly rubbery, then treacle emerges. Earthy, with underlying floral notes, particularly strong in violets.

Palate: Rich and full-bodied. Voluptuous with gingersnaps, malt, warm oak and Jaffa oranges.

Finish: Relatively long, with dark, spicy malt and a sprinkling of cocoa powder.

Comment: A confident, well-rounded cask strength expression from an often underrated distillery.

Score: 8.1

Joe Bates

Taster

Nose: Incredibly appealing mix of stem ginger, star anise and dark chocolate.

Palate: Buttery mouthfeel with lots of sweet dried fruits, and warming woody spice.

Finish: Long and sweet.

Comment: A drop or two of water really get the flavours of this rich, sweet, high ABV \nwhisky singing.

Score: 7.7
