Tasting Notes

Arthur Motley Nose Marzipan, quince, apples, peach slices and the top of a crème brûlée. Palate Vanilla, apples, and chewy toasted oak. Finish A tinny bloodiness. Comment Lots of American Oak, and a super clean character. Nowt wrong, but not quite enough right.

Dave Broom Nose Light. Wholemeal bread/dry grass/bran/Ryvita, with some fresh soft fruits behind (raspberry). Brown boot polish, freshly baked bread. Palate Light still, but with more fruit. Vanilla and caramelised fruits. Good silky, rounded, feel. Finish Smooth, liquorous. Comment A malty nose but balanced and quite sweet on the palate. A drinkable session dram.
