After a strangely flat start it builds in energy but somehow just lacks definition. Very pleasant though.

Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Barley sugar and orange barley water with a hint of almond. Attractive, but a little unforthcoming.

Palate: Lightly oily and tongue coating. Hazelnuts, cherry stone then marmalade and soft toffee. Decent grip as well.

Finish: Crisp.

Comment: After a strangely flat start it builds in energy but somehow just lacks definition. Very pleasant though.

Score: 7.9

Martine Nouet

Palate: Sweet, velvety. Honey and toffee. Lemon balm and herbal notes. A good malty core.

Finish: Minty and spicy. Clean and crisp.

Comment: Rich, well structured. A good bourbon cask maturation.
