Tasting Notes

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Very aromatic and delicate with light fresh cut meadow and floral tones.

Palate: A subtle sweetness and spice vie with vanilla and some stewed fruit notes. There are spices lurking as well.

Finish: Short but there is a spiced kick to it.

Comment: That rye pep is well hidden here but it does make itself known at the end.

Score: 7.9

Dominic Roskrow

Taster

Nose: Quite perfumey and light with some floral and apricot notes.

Palate: A nice mix of sweetness and spice, with vanilla to the fore, sugar candy and simmer fruit cordial.

Finish: Quite short but refreshing and pleasant and a gentle pepper finale.

Comment: These four ryes show the diversity of the style.They bring a new dimension to American whiskey.

Score: 8.2
