Taster

Nose: Werther’s Originals burst to the forefront alongside dusty books and wood. \nLike a library on a sunny afternoon.

Palate: Lots of crème caramel sweetness, along with a sulphur\nnote mid-sip and baked bananas with brown sugar.\n

Finish: Hot finish – lots of bite at the front of the tongue. Chocolate cake and more bananas.\n

Comment: Bold and forward but with a nice balance of sweetness and spice.

Score: 7.7

Taster

Nose: Slightly industrial hard barley and slightly murky spices. The oak and malt attempt to inject a little sweetness to balance and thankfully those notes begin \nto dominate the industrial ones.

Palate: A little musty and earthy to begin with but the sweeter barley pushes through along with a touch of honey. However you can still feel its hard edges.\n

Finish: Medium length with a light smokiness and lightly bitter tannins.\n

Comment: As you know I am not a huge fan of this style of whisky. However there is just enough sweetness to balance its industrial character.

Score: 7.1
