Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: \"Sherried\" notes: date, dried fruits, walnut/chestnut, heading to rancio. There's a rich, generous spirit as well: burnt orange, rooty, honey.

Palate: Smoke under the rounded nutty dried figgy notes. Honey and soft malt.

Finish: Slightly tannic.

Comment: An old bugger, but the character still shines through the sherry.

Score: 8

Michael Jackson

Palate: Malty. Brown sugar. Ginger. Oak. Body is smooth and creamy.

Finish: Crisp treacle toffee.

Comment: More robust and less sophisticated than the distillery bottlings.
