The aromas and flavours evoke breakfast, but in a farmhouse kitchen with an open fire, rused and dashed by the winds down the chimney.

Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Fresh smokiness. The smell of burning hay. Earthy.

Palate: Sweet and salty. Firm, cereal-grain maltiness. Peanut butter on toast.

Finish: Orange and ginger marmalade. Satisfying. Sustaining.

Comment: The aromas and flavours evoke breakfast, but in a farmhouse kitchen with an open fire, rused and dashed by the winds down the chimney.

Score: 8

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Ripe, fruity and well balanced. Sherry, dried fruits and a hint of smoke. Water brings out a buttery edge. A lot going on.

Palate: Overall, a little drier than the nose suggests but with excellent, soft, mid-palate weight. Light smoke all the way through.

Finish: Ripe and soft.

Comment: Very well balanced. A lovely blend.

Score: 8.3
