Tasting Notes

Dominic Roskrow

Taster

Nose: Dark chocolate, cherry, tobacco pouch, sports locker room, cocoa.

Palate: Full and rich, mouth-coating even with a big splash of water, lots of sweet fruits, wood tannins and dark chocolate.

Finish: Long, spicy, fruity and woody, all held in check. Wonderful.

Comment: Still a world beater. What were you doing when Barack won? I was sipping this, celebrating in style.

Score: 9.2

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Intense. A bit tangy but not as the strength would let expect. Dried apple peel. Cinnamon, clove. Pot-pourri.

Palate: Sweet and smooth. Again no alcohol bite.But the woody flavours are dominating. Walnut stain.

Finish: Softer, long and spicy.

Comment: An interesting character. Again a bourbon which does not drown your tastebuds with sweetness but you have got to like oaky whiskeys.

Score: 7.6
