Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Soft and creamy but with good intensity. Ripe, elegant and lush with wild strawberry, Milky Bar (white chocolate) and Butterkist popcorn. Sexy.

Palate: Soft, silky and chewy, with a spicy lift and touch of ripe cherry.

Finish: Fragrant. The chocolate comes back with some mint and cream.

Comment: THIS is innovation at work in whisky.

Score: 8.5
