Tasting Notes

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Quite light layers of orange peel, vanilla and a dustiness. A little fresh tobacco leaf and spice.

Palate: Packs a great spice and pep at the front then mellows into fruit.

Finish: Long and spiced, that fruit coming through too.

Comment: A mellow clean cut rye.

Score: 7.6

Dominic Roskrow

Taster

Nose: Tobacco, musk, tangerine and mandarin, vanilla and dusty perfumed notes.

Palate: Intensely spicy but with some citrus notes.Altogether fresher, cleaner and thinner than some American style whiskeys.

Finish: Quite long and spicy, with lemon and orange in the mix.

Comment: Very different again, but still very enjoyable.

Score: 7.9
