Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 64 by Dave Broom and Arthur Motley.

Whisky Magazine is the perfect complement to the dram in your glass. Every issue brings you fascinating articles on the art, science and romance of the 'water of life', plus page after page of tasting notes.

Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Nose
Substantial with good maturity. Orange peel and ginger, drying grass, barley sugar, passion fruit, banana skin and a wholemeal maltiness.
Palate
Very silky with marzipan, sweet nut and dried tropical fruits, peach. Honeycomb, chocolate and mint. Multi-layered and surprisingly deep.
Finish
Immensely long. Trickles down the back of the throat.
Comment
A stunner.

Arthur Motley

Nose
Baked bananas, green apples and pear drops. An attractive and subtle meadow note. Custard. A little pencil shavings woodiness.
Palate
Sweet banana custard, toffee apple followed by drying spice.
Finish
Cinnamon.
Comment
Again, pleasant very pretty. A really good example of American oak maturation.
