Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Pale piggy pink in hue and a nose that's reminiscent of dilute cranberry\rand raspberry juice, green grapes, uncooked rhubarb and underneath\rthe faintest touch of butter.

Palate: Slightly fizzy, fermenting grape juice. Light and quite delicate. Water makes\rit more floral with some icing sugar.

Finish: Tart red fruits.

Comment: I'm a fan of Glencadam, but not this time.

Score: 6.7

Dominic Roskrow

Taster

Nose: Strange peachy pink colour isn't encouraging. Syrupy fruit punch,\rsweet, rich and fresh.

Palate: Sweet and full, with lots of summery fruit notes, with over ripe melon and\rstrawberries in the mix, some flora, rosewater notes. Late spice.

Finish: Quite long, full and fruity, with a nice spice flourish to sign it off.

Comment: Summer dessert whisky from another little known Highland gem.

Score: 8
