Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Light juicy fruits (apricot jam, lemon barley water, orange pith, mango). Like a Trinidadian rum. Light tropical fruit and coconut. Attractive and subtle.

Palate: Very light with this juiciness slowly seeping out. Oak grips very lightly . Lightly oily in texture.

Finish: Fruity with some white pepper.

Comment: A delicious session dram but could do with more oomph.

Score: 7.8
