Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Malty/Ovaltine with hazelnut, wood shavings red grapes and candied peel. Becomes hard with water.

Palate: A dry slightly charred start before deepening moving through hazelnut into stewed fruit decent balance.

Finish: Sudden raisin.

Comment: Better weight but ultimately this is still fragile.

Score: 7.3

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Buttery with a faint butyric note. A thin veil of smoke hoovers over poached pears. Wet rush. Aeration brings a delicate fresh citrus breath.

Palate: Smooth, silky, sweet at start. An earthy dryness pleasantly invades the palate while spices tingle tastebuds.

Finish: Fruity, spicy, dry. Fresh almond aftertaste.

Comment: That guy hides a tender heart under a reserved manner. Give it time and a dash of fresh water. Definitely an outdoor dram.

Score: 8
