There was so little in these last three samples that it’s hard to truly discern the whisky’s real qualities (or to retaste it, as is normal practise).

Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Dusty with some alcohol. A little biscuity then a soft spread of gingerbread like fruitiness, some sultana and barley.

Palate: Pear-like. Has impact, but the flavours don’t seem fixed. Pure with some soft weight.

Finish: Gentle and clean.

Comment: There was so little in these last three samples that it’s hard to truly discern the whisky’s real qualities (or to retaste it, as is normal practise).

Score: 7.4

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Light. Floral. Carnation. Fruity. Watermelon. Lime juice.

Palate: Satin-like. Elegant and complex. Turkish delight. A touch of fresh cereals. Almond and pear tart.

Finish: Fades rather quickly but gently. Very clean and refreshing. Ginger in the back.

Comment: A delicate and complex dram. Better neat. Would rather play with Brahms than Wagner.

Score: 7.7
