Tasting Notes

Owen Barstow

Taster

Nose: Light and clean but spirity. Faint tangy orange with a biscuity base note.

Palate: Sugary and citrussy. Marmalade notes. Silver Shred? Somewhat reminiscent of old fashioned Lucozade.

Finish: Sweet and warming. Late dusty cocoa dryness.

Comment: Simple blocks of flavour and aroma come together to form a whisky that might have benefited from a few more years maturation.

Score: 6.8

Arthur Motley

Taster

Nose: Posh, scented candlewax (like the type one might buy in Jenners, doncha know). Warm baking and a slight phenol character, like floor polish or swimming pools. Honey.

Palate: Lots of maltiness, more wax and an astringent citrus.

Finish: Grassy and slightly peaty.

Comment: Good, mature but still lively.

Score: 8.3
