ABV 46%

Softness and subtlety is underrated these days, but can be more complex as any big old bruiser.

Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Gentle and floral, apple (fruit/blossom), heather, pear, raspberry, chocolate. Sweet oak.

Palate: Soft start, a burst of sweetness with gentle waves of flavour: flowers, nutty oak, malt, dried grasses and orchard fruits. Subtle and balanced.

Finish: Complex, nutty.

Comment: Softness and subtlety is underrated these days, but can be more complex as any big old bruiser.

Score: 8.5
