Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Fresh and clean with some green banana, kiwi fruits, vanilla pod. With water a bran note but there's sufficient sweetness to balance.

Palate: Very well balanced for one so young. Shows a soft and amenable distillate and great cask interaction. Melon and pears.

Finish: Medium length. Tinned pears.

Comment: Cleanliness, style and substance. A wee cracker!

Score: 8.2
