Dave Broom
77- Nose
- Plenty of stone fruit and vanilla. A Viognier like fleshy peachiness as well as a certain oiliness, but it's peaches from a parallel universe. Fruit, Jim, but not quite as we know it. Mature, with a flor-like nuttiness. Yeasty. It's all intriguingly odd.
- Palate
- Great age on show here, manages to balance the oak with a toffee-ed depth.
- Finish
- Nut shell.
- Comment
- Just lacks a little length. Not as pure as the 74, but I like its weirdness.
Arthur Motley
72- Nose
- Both jammy and meaty, think of venison and redcurrant jelly. Water turned it a bit grubby, but this note settled to become like an earthy, forest floor. Some sweet, wine-like fruitness is there too.
- Palate
- Sweet and jammy, then drying.
- Finish
- Tannic, with a dry and husky, aftertaste like you get when you chew peated barley.
- Comment
- Choose the 1974 over this one, although if you are a fan of sherry cask led malt this may be your thing.
