Tasting Notes

Gavin Smith

Nose
Fragrant, oak and malt, very delicate wood smoke.
Palate
Some oiliness, orange juice, again delicate smoke, suggestion of peat.
Finish
Dry, slightly acrid, smoke from cheroots.
Comment
Doesn't leap out of the glass at you, but well balanced and unthreatening.

Dave Broom

Nose
Initially malty, becoming rounded and buttery with water. There's olde English marmalade, delicate woodsmoke wood shavings, log, cigar ash.
Palate
Lightly perfumed and quite sweet. Orange peel, stewed apricot, tinned prune and aromatic smoke. Long and smooth.
Finish
Dry, ash-like.
Comment
A good introductory malt.
