Tasting Notes

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Oak and caramel vie for position, then cut grass and a little citrus.

Palate: Again citrus brings a lift, creamy. Mouthfilling and slick. Glacé cherries and marzipan notes as well.

Finish: Rich and coating.

Comment: A restorative dram for those quiet, reflective moments

Score: 7.8

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Shy. Grassy. Angelica and tarragon. Aniseed freshness. Hint of lime. Unwinds slowly. Rhubarb compote. Gets perfumy. Touch of vetiver.

Palate: Round, velvety. Alcohol is perfectly integrated. Lemon posset. A touch of\rbakewell tart.

Finish: Refreshing. Mint chocolate.

Comment: A dram which needs time to open. Good balance, some complexity and\rfirm body.

Score: 8
