Tasting Notes

Phoebe Calver

Taster

Nose: A delightfully classic bourbon nose, full of freshly scraped vanilla pod, sponge cake, dry notes, brown sugar in a milky coffee, and peppermint creams.

Palate: On the palate, things follow through nicely, with more of the brown sugar, but this time there’s Christmas spices and dark fruit adding more complexity.

Finish: A lingering and drying finish thanks to those oaky spices, rounded out with a hint of vanilla.

Comment: If you want to try a classic bourbon, then this is certainly going to be just the ticket!

Score: 8.1

Taster

Nose: Soft and mild oak notes of acacia honey, honeysuckle flowers, orange zest, popcorn coated in a sweet buttery sauce, candied peanuts, and drier notes of pencil shavings and oak sawdust.

Palate: Medium bodied with freshly sliced pear and green grape cutting though the richer oak and honey sweet flavours of caramel flapjack.

Finish: Toasted oak, cracked black peppercorn and pinesap in a medium-long finish.

Comment: Easy drinking, with lots of floral, fruit, honey, and mellow oak spices.

Score: 8.4
