Tasting Notes

Phoebe Calver

Taster

Nose: Fresh fruit with melon, peach and banana. Then some fresh farmhouse loaf and icing sugar sweetness, a little walnut, pecan and coconut cream. Ginger balls in syrup and berry preserve.

Palate: Lovely mouthfeel, like butter cream icing on a walnut sponge cake. Fruit and nut bar, a hint of pencil rubber and some more peach. Honey drizzled on porridge.

Finish: Creamy medium finish with the lingering honey and pecan sweetness.

Comment: Really interesting work here.

Score: 8.3

Christopher Coates

Taster

Nose: Pineapple juice and coconut ice, cedar wood and patchouli. Papaya and unlit Virginia pipe tobacco.

Palate: Medium-light body. Peaches and toffee sauce, Monin pineapple syrup and golden syrup. Subtle notes of coffee creams, condensed milk and milk chocolate.

Finish: That fruit and caramel medley fades slowly for a medium-long finish.

Comment: Solid flavours, well integrated, and overall a nicely put together single malt.

Score: 8.1
