Tasting Notes

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Oh yes, what a start, slow cooked pork with cumin and turmeric rub, cherry and horseradish sauce, griddled peaches with brown sugar.

Palate: Continues from the nose with hits of cherry and applewood smoking chips, plenty of fruit, toffee apples and poached pears. A rich, creamy and spice-laden vanilla depth.

Finish: Slowly dries with all those spices, leaving warm embers and plenty of sweetness.

Comment: A stunner of an Islay whisky, great balance of sweet fruits, smoke and wood notes. Send case please.

Score: 9.1

Taster

Nose: Sticky grilled pineapple and gooey cooked banana drizzled with toffee sauce. Barbecued meat, bonfire smoke and cola bottles too.

Palate: Drying on the sides of the mouth, but with lots of grilled fruits – peaches, pineapple and banana skin. A bold Sherry sweetness, speckled with cinnamon, ginger and pepper.

Finish: Sherry, banana and a little smoke.

Comment: Superb. Delicious. Buy a bottle.
