Tasting Notes

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: An open door to the medicine chest, camphor and bandages, clove oil and hints of TCP. Slowly some fruit, black banana and tinned peaches seep through. The aroma of a cooling wood fire.

Palate: Serious smoke layers here that fill the palate, hints of saltine crackers and baked ham. There’s a zip of lemon zest and a tang of orange barley sweets too.

Finish: More smoke rises and then dries leaving camphor and cloves.

Comment: A belter of a smoky whisky.

Score: 8.2

Christopher Coates

Taster

Nose: Olive brine, swimming pool, celery, pear drop and subtle rubber band and pencil shavings. The inside of the first-aid cupboard and pencil case all at once. Faint coal smoke.

Palate: Anise, iodine, gentle smoke, and cinnamon — a fair bit of it. Candied ginger and a slightly rubbery note.

Finish: Medium length and gently drying, with that medicinal note lingering with some clove spice.

Comment: A trip to the first-aid box while at the sea side.
