Tasting Notes

Arthur Motley Nose Raspberry sweeties, a little yeastiness and a whole bag of lemon sherberts. Palate Citric, malty round texture and a grassy finish. Finish Utterly cleansing dryness with a grassy bitterness. Comment Cute as a button.

Dave Broom Nose Fragrant. Stewed fruits, daffodil, yellow fruit pastille, orange pith, pineapple cubes, barley sugar, cut grass. Blackboard dusters, powdered ginger/ginger beer (a whisky mule?). A little sappy. Palate This is where it delivers, the sappiness mellows into late spring blossom and white fruits. Like sticking your head into a bouquet of flowers. Finish Gentle fruit. Comment Another which manages to be both delicate but complex. The best balanced on show.
