Dave Broom
76- Nose
- Shoe polish (suede cleaner), dark chocolate, tinned black cherry pie filling, floor polish. More complex with water becoming orange accented.
- Palate
- Soft, with red fruits. Tart and acidic moving into kumquat before a barrage of red and black fruits.
- Finish
- Light red cherry notes.
- Comment
- Just a little lacking in full integration. You can sense the whisky sitting underneath the finish.
Dominic Roskrow
72- Nose
- Floral bath foam. Green vegetables. Sweet chestnut.
- Palate
- Savoury and sappy, and with an interesting balance between berry fruits and ginger barley.
- Finish
- Medium, earthy and fruity.
- Comment
- This is like batting against a team with four fast bowlers. It's relentless. A tangy taste sensation, sure, but the jury's out as to whether the malt's been enhanced by the finish.
