Quite nice despite being shy. In time evolves into a good solid dram.

Tasting Notes

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: A little sweet up front but seems to hold back a little, pears in syrup, beeswax, heather, fine grade leather, used horse riding tack and some drying wool. There’s a touch of dying ember too.

Palate: Plenty of vanilla fudge and then into the sweetness of raspberry jam. It is still waxy and sweet with mango flesh.

Finish: Long and chalky peppered with cinnamon and a little ginger powder.

Comment: Quite nice despite being shy. In time evolves into a good solid dram.

Score: 8.1

Lyndsey Gray

Taster

Nose: It’s literally like someone stuck raspberries and spice mix into a massive bowl of Playdoh! Soft and creamy with sea salt milk chocolate, coconut fudge and hot clay.

Palate: The creaminess on the nose carries through, but with sharp bursts of pink grapefruit zest, cherry cola bottles, roasted hazelnuts and rosemary salted chips.

Finish: Interesting tingly finish on an otherwise creamy number.

Comment: It's The Nutty Professor.

Score: 8.4
