Dave Broom
77- Nose
- Slightly dusty, like an old attic, but shows good maturity. Pine, cake mix, Weetabix, allspice, clove. A polished oak quality. This improves in the glass.
- Palate
- Sweet to start moving immediately into red fruit, blueberry juice then the malty nuttiness takes over. Good depth and and well balanced.
- Finish
- Bran muffin.
- Comment
- An underrated malt. Check it out.
Arthur Motley
70- Nose
- Icing sugar, fruit and breakfast cereal. Orange bitters, Demerara and banana. With water it becomes doughier, like banana bread. Almonds.
- Palate
- Silken, sweet then drying and dusty. Difficult to pick out distinct flavours.
- Finish
- A buttery, corn-like graininess.
- Comment
- I was surprised to discover that this is sold as a sherry-matured bottling...where is that sherry cask character?
