Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Take some butter. Add more butter. Then some sugar. Mix them together. Smell.

Palate: The butter now deepens into cream with some vanilla sugar or maybe even white chocolate Light grip. Touch of tangerine peel. Thins with water.

Finish: Short and drying.

Comment: They've done their best to improve a poor cask, but it's one note all the way.

Score: 7

Arthur Motley

Taster

Nose: Lots of zest citrus character, especially grapefruit. Lemon fudge.

Palate: An old and complex malt with great progression in the mouth. More of that citrus, backed with sweet caramel.

Finish: Dry woodiness.

Comment: First taste was amazing, second a little bit flat.

Score: 8.5
