Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Tense, slightly green and smoky. The impression is marine: grey sea salt,\rozone, as well chalk/dusty pebbles, cow shed. With water, moist peat and\rrooty, angelica-like notes.

Palate: Very oily palate. Both tongue-clinging and explosive: sweet chilli sauce, yellow fruits and a real sweetness in the centre as the marine notes fly around.

Finish: Long, smoky.

Comment: Vibrant and full of character. Best neat.

Score: 8.1

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Earthy, fresh dug peat, hints of TCP and iodine. Heavily smoked salmon. That fungal edge hides kiwi fruit skin.

Palate: Warm with heavy peat notes. A touch of vanilla, almost tablet, honey sweet\rand ginger.

Finish: Warming and long.

Comment: One for the hip flask for a seaside walk.

Score: 8.5
