Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Masses of soft fruits and maturity on show. Starts off with green mango, crystallised pineapple and banana becoming increasingly tropical as it develops. Oak in balance.

Palate: Medium weight, with good pooling of those fruits in the middle of the tongue. As it develops there's old waxed paper. Best neat as it is just showing its age a little.

Finish: Fruity but fades.

Comment: Balanced and mature with great tropical fruit character.

Score: 8.3

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Perfumy. Very fruity. A mix of not totally ripe apricot and bergamot. There is an elegant balance between tartness and sweetness. In the back, a hint of\rchicken broth. A touch of coconut.

Palate: Dry and crisp. Raw silk texture. A slight astringency gives way to a luscious explosion of exotic fruit. Pineapple and passion fruit sprinkled with ground ginger.

Finish: Warm dry, spicy.

Comment: Obviously a Bourbon cask maturation. Fruit flavours are elegantly displayed.

Score: 8.4
