Tasting Notes

Laura Foster

Taster

Nose: Rather shy. Vanilla ice cream, lemon sherbet, wood shavings, and a whiff of charcoal. There’s something lifted and floral to this too.

Palate: Really pleasing creamy texture to this. Vanilla panna cotta crusted in sea salt.

Finish: Dry and very vanilla.

Comment: A vanilla ice cream float in cream soda.

Score: 7.3

Mark Newton

Taster

Nose: Amazingly perfumed, yet ashy peat, overshadowing intense barley. Masses of vanilla and floral honey. Smoke fades to reveal stewed apples, peaches and old roses. Simple, but beautiful.

Palate: Floral sweetness that, this time, is a shade unbalanced against ashy smoke. Lapsang souchong tea. Lime marmalade and black pepper.

Finish: Medium length, and still a shy, but a lot of woody, peppery heat.

Comment: Its lack of balance just undermines a confident, bold character. (And bravo to character).

Score: 7.8
