Tasting Notes

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: Loads of fruit, rye and malt. Big and bristling.

Palate: Rich chocolatey orange with toffee fudge but then lightens to allow the corn through.

Finish: More corn and dries as oak arrives.

Comment: Deceptively delicious: threatens to erupt but ends up relatively meek and well behaved.

Score: 8

Finish: Very lively and and appetising. Root ginger and bitter chocolate.
