Tasting Notes

Arthur Motley

Taster

Nose: Seaweed, creosote, and fish. Potent, sweet and sour. With water there are jelly sweets and silage, horse dung and fag ash.

Palate: Sweet, peaty, and a little coal tar soap.

Finish: Dry and ashy.

Comment: Speyside you say, eh? A real region buster, and I loved that sootiness.

Score: 7.8

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Light and perfumed top notes (green apple, lemon zest, lily) with some sweet hay, then comes a smokiness like burning stubble. Black pepper.

Palate: Sweet floral start, an rounded centre mixing grass (silage), smoke and a dusty note like angelica. Some coconut.

Finish: Smoked chilli.

Comment: Thanks for bottling this Sukhinder, now, Jim Beam...follow that!!
