Tasting Notes

Arthur Motley

Taster

Nose: Treacle, mixed with orange liqueur and herbaceous grassiness.

Palate: Sweet, with treacle toffee, ginger and some European oak tannins.

Finish: Molasses.

Comment: Cask driven and enjoyable without being particularly exciting.

Score: 7.5

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Heavy. Floor polish, then barley straw and some burnt orange. Sweetens into banana split, white chocolate, raspberry. Almost OTT.

Palate: Very thick, almost cloying, but the oak is grippy enough to give it structure. Hugely sweet.

Finish: Super-ripe fruits. Long.

Comment: Hardly the most subtle whisky you'll ever meet, but if you love em big and bouncy, this is for you.

Score: 7.8
