Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: There seems to be a fresh grainy note in here. Lightly floral and honeyed with a sappy edge and a hint of smoke in the background. Dry pastry.

Palate: Light smoke then flour sacks, before creamy toffee develops in the centre.

Finish: Lifts into citrus.

Comment: A good mixing blend, though this too fades a little.

Score: 7.3

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Oaky. Sap with a musty note. Damp wood. A hint of butterscotch. Autumn fragrances. Ripe medlar.

Palate: Round, mellow. A bit watery at mid-palate. Velvety feel. A refreshing liquorice character.

Finish: Smooth, sweet with a bitter tinge. A gingery hint.

Comment: A clean dram. Wood is well integrated. A higher strength would have given it a little more nerve.

Score: 7.6
