Dave Broom
80- Nose
- Smoky with seaweed and burned wood. Slightly vegetal/eucalypt with a hint of firelighter.
- Palate
- Immediate hit of smoke, cubeb berries but then a silky sweet mid-palate with touches of citrus. Then the smoke returns.
- Finish
- Salty and a little lean.
- Comment
- This is seamless stuff and despite the smokiness is unshowy. Only 9 Years Old? Great things are on their way.
Arthur Motley
90- Nose
- Woodsmoke, raisiny fudge and burning field stubble. Smoked almonds.
- Palate
- A real witches' cauldron. The smokiness is very dense. With time green apple, lime and Werther's Original caramels come through.
- Finish
- Fading smoke and some pepper, but not as intense and lasting as I'd expected.
- Comment
- A breathless, smoky charge with great clarity of flavour.
