Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: There's a (house?) style seemingly shared between this trio which centres on real sweetness and instantly appealing aromas. This has some dark fruits and dried tangerine peel, marmalade, barley flour and malt.

Palate: Assertive and nutty. Lightly herbal with some leather. Becomes softer and layered with some jammy fruits. It's whisky as a New World wine.

Finish: Glossy. Jammy.

Comment: Nice.. really nice but not with a wow factor.

Score: 7.4

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Big waves of cream toffee, tablet, cream sherry. Stewed oranges and\rbrown sugar.

Palate: Quite sweet but the spices are lurking, cinnamon and cloves.

Finish: Long with sweet peat.

Comment: Seems a little thin at first until the spices roll out.

Score: 8.1
