Tasting Notes

Arthur Motley

Taster

Nose: Almond pastries dusted with icing sugar. Very raisiny, with butterscotch and lemon peel too. With time more citrus/sour notes appear, along with more floral character.

Palate: Very drinkable at cask strength, with a corn-like character, grassy and citric (orange perhaps).

Finish: Medium length and dryish.

Comment: A pleasant summery kind of dram.

Score: 7.5

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Green fruit crispness. Slight acidity. Dusty, chalky top notes. Faint turpentine and resin notes? Balsam? More rounded, toffee notes with water.

Palate: Tart. Peppery. Dusty dryness. (Lemon juice?). Fresher with water.

Finish: Drying and quite abrupt, but not unpleasant. Artichokes. Faintly smoky.

Comment: Puts me in mind of an aged Tequila, with a big splash of lime.

Score: 7.5
