Tasting Notes

Gavin Smith

Taster

Nose: Initially, cold roast beef. Icing sugar emerges, with a hint of cloves.

Palate: Polished leather and more cloves, with nutmeg and a touch of cinnamon.

Finish: Dries in a leisurely manner to silky oak. Spice persists.

Comment: A polished and complex whiskey.

Score: 8.2

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: There is a meaty hint to this at first, Oxo cubes. It moves into more sweeter territory after a while, spun sugar and Demerara. There is a hint of spice too.

Palate: At first egg tart, nutmeg, custard, cream and a little malt note. The oak grips the tongue and there are spices at the back of the tongue.

Finish: Dry but complex.

Comment: A well balanced whisky with a lot going on.

Score: 8.7
