Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Damp vegetation,railway tunnels, smoke,rain on cement,turfy smoke. Light raisin with plump mashy notes.

Palate: Turnips. Delicate smoke.Seems quite young,but subtle and soft with some appeal.

Finish: Dampened fire.

Comment: An attractive dram for sure,but just lacks impetus.

Score: 7.3

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Smoky. Burning wood. Slightly tangy. Malty notes struggle to go through the curtain of smoke.

Palate: Round. A bit diluted. Sweet, malty. Smoke lingers and dries the fruit. Cooked pears.

Finish: Dry,quite short.A nutty touch.

Comment: Smoke shows up insistently,muzzling the distillery character. But some like it very smoky.

Score: 7.5
