Dominic Roskrow

Taster

Score: 6

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Peaty,earthy. An animal note,like the straw from the cowshed. A slight custardy aroma brings in a\rsweet touch.

Palate: Smooth at start,then alcohol tickles the tongue but remains quite tame. A fresh aniseed flavour.\rSweet grassiness.

Finish: Dry, fresh, with a slight astringency.

Comment: A solid dram. Rough and ready. The malty sweetness helps balancing the high strength. Invigorating.

Score: 7.3
