A very rich nose is slightly let down in the palate. On the whole, it's respectable enough.

Tasting Notes

Owen Barstow

Taster

Nose: Some tart red fruits hover above a buttery, chocolate croissant base. Pleasant malt notes.

Palate: Sweet (green apples?) and fiery at first. Some buttery notes. Warm fruit scones?

Finish: On the short side, with a memory of well done toast.

Comment: A very rich nose is slightly let down in the palate. On the whole, it's respectable enough.

Score: 7.5

Arthur Motley

Taster

Nose: Savlon, pizza dough and red apples. Spray-can paint.

Palate: Astringent, then dry. Burnt pork.

Finish: That lingering burnt meat and a balsa woodiness.

Comment: I couldn't get past that taste of overfried bacon. This is a great malt distillery, and one of my favourites, so I am a little disappointed.
