Dave Broom
78- Nose
- Immediate oak lactone (coconut) over praline and a hint of chocolate. As it opens there's redfruit and madeleine. A little fusty with water, the sweetness of draff and vanilla.
- Palate
- Hint of orange peel, then chocolate shifting to tinned peach and malt. Good feel. Water brings out the cereal note; wholemeal bread and creamy butter.
- Finish
- Dustymalt. Fades a little quickly.
- Comment
- Draff mixed with whipped cream? It's a Glaswegian cranachan.

78- Nose
- Intense, fruity, with a luscious cakey fragrance in the back. Greengage flan, shortbread, honey syrup. Oak is well integrated...
- Palate
- Crisp and firm but releasing a well controlled sweet maltiness. Well balanced, with a tangy feel which dries the flavours. Oak is more perceptible at midpalate.
- Finish
- Dry with a slight bitterness and a leafy note.
- Comment
- A well educated dram, pleasant, balanced. Maybe just lacking the sparkle which would make it gain a better score.
