Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Complex, rich mix of flowers, fruit (dried and caramelised), plum, baked apple, currant, honey, roast chestnut, meat and toffee. Phew.

Palate: A soft start, then dark fruits mixed with light honey and cooked peach. A rich, elegant, silky texture that fills the mouth. Highly complex.

Finish: Soft with a gentle hint of smoke.

Comment: Balances richness and fragrance superbly.

Score: 8.8

Taster

Nose: Honeyed. Floral. Herbal. Full of subtleties.

Palate: Lightly syrupy. Sweet. Delivers what the bouquet promised.

Finish: Starts gently dry, but quickly soars to spicy heights.

Comment: Very accessible, and not given to grandiosity, but it's one of the Speyside greats. Good with some desserts. Try it with cassata.
