Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Pretty crisp. Corn, mouthwatering malt, clean wood with a wisp of smoke.

Palate: Good balance. Juicy fruits, curry leaves, cumin and earth. Fairly light.

Finish: Biscuity, dry.

Comment: Light but attractive.

Score: 7.5

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Powerful flowering currant.

Palate: Good malt background, but the esters seem to have vanished. Add water and they come out of hiding; not the usual fruit, but peppermint.

Finish: White pepper. Dry.

Comment: Dry Oloroso is a very good idea.

Score: 7.8
