Tasting Notes

Gavin Smith

Taster

Nose: Early must, then malt. Greasy brown paper too.

Palate: Malt carries over from the nose, with ginger and dried fruits.

Finish: Lots of spice and caramel, then subtle oak tannins.

Comment: Drinkable enough, but marked down for its 'fousty' nose.

Score: 7.6

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Dunnage warehouses, raspberry jam and crumpets. Fresh buttered rye\rbread develops.

Palate: Bread crusts, sweet water biscuits, a little spice, trail mix.

Finish: Juicy fruits and quite long, spices build at the end.

Comment: A Rothes for before dinner, a conversational whisky.

Score: 8.2
