Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Highly-polished furniture mixed with peach stone/white peach flesh and almond. Aromatic with resin notes. In\rtime the wood becomes the dominant partner:pine sap,enamel paint,honey and coconut.

Palate: An oddly pleasing mix of perfumed floral notes overlaid by this coconut character. Full on and thick.

Finish: Long and sweet with just a slightgrip.

Comment: Reminds me of gentlemen's coconut oil shaving cream. If you like that,you'll love this.

Score: 7.4

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Very sweet even sugary. Citrussy. Bergamot candied in syrup. Unidimensional. Vanilla hovers on the\rfruit. A herbal touch..With time,citrus notes open up.

Palate: In the same tone when you first taste it. But the second sip unveils a real character. Oak and spices burst out and tell you this fellow.is old.

Finish: A lot of exotic fruit. Passion fruit.

Comment: A very deceptive whisky. Hides behind a sweet mask then reveals its complex and strong nature.

Score: 8
