Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Straightforward nuttiness/nut shell, slightly bitter. Opens into yew, sawn oak, draff, then marshmallow and a touch of apple and fig relish.

Palate: Nut oils. Quite biscuity and rich. Leafy.

Finish: Crisp short.

Comment: A perfectly pleasant dram, but lacking the finesse and complexity of the best on show here.

Score: 7.5

Arthur Motley

Taster

Nose: Malt extract, chocolate mint, melted cheese, honeysuckle, brown bread with lots of butter. Background grassiness.

Palate: Citric, with orange juice and lime. Stewed fruits and toasted oak.

Finish: Malty and citric.

Comment: Has that balanced character that makes for an ideal gift whisky, but lacked drama.

Score: 7.5
