Tasting Notes

Arthur Motley Nose Lime marmalade on malt loaf. Opal fruits. Bales of damp hay. Palate Appetising apricot jam in the middle of the palate, followed by some oaky maturity. Finish Drying, brown toastiness. Comment A fruity rumble in the hay. Oo arr missus.

Dave Broom Nose Fruity (quince, bletted fruits, plum, orange spangles) sweet and concentrated with hints of honey and flowers. Some dry oak and a hint of bran-like maltiness. Palate Zesty with dried peels and berry fruits. Rounded. Finish Medium dry. Jammy fruit. Comment More weight and interest than the 12 Years Old.
