Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Some hideous confected RTD has been slipped in here. This is an explosion in a flavour lab: artificial strawberry, green apple, fake peach (shampoo),cherryade. With water an unpleasant aroma of rotting\rvegetables and old socks.

Palate: Sweet. It's a liqueur? It's a bad liqueur. Sticky and confected. I feel poisoned\rby E numbers.

Finish: Thick and sugary.

Comment: What sort of delusional person dreamt this up? Who allowed it to be bottled? Hideous.

Score: 4

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Heady but not in a pleasant way. Like artificial aromas. Strawberry chewing gum. Varnish. Violet.

Palate: So sweet. It can't be a whisky. A liqueur. Again the same artificial notes.

Finish: Sweet,sweet,sweet and suddenly bitter.

Comment: What is that? Certainly not a drink I would like to have at home. For my\renemies maybe,if I had any!

Score: 5.5
