Tasting Notes

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Like a fruit salad, oranges, pears, melons and a little cherry bitterness. There is a distant coal tar soap note.

Palate: Smoke fills the mouth and the sweetness hits a little later. Velvety and mouth coating.

Finish: Crisp and sweet.

Comment: A decent solid dram for everyday drinking, and nothing wrong about that.

Score: 8

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Very fruity. Ripe William pear. Some white peach as well. A distant smoke curling up.

Palate: Smooth, round. Thick velvet. The smoke invades the palate, pushing the fruit back. Completely different from the nose. Touch of lemon drop. Soot.

Finish: Short, smoky.

Comment: Probably a young whisky, with a twoface profile. Fruit on the nose, smoke on the palate. And not much more.\rPleasant but simplistic.

Score: 7.5
