87- Nose
- Hugely aromatic. Very distinctive. Resiny. Balsamic vinegar.
- Palate
- Spiced olive oil. A sweet mustard, then a hot one. White pepper. Cumin. Stinging, lively, with lots of flavour development.
- Finish
- Salty. Medicinal. Sudden TCP/Listerine.
- Comment
- Those startling, appetising aromas and flavours had me cooking in a new kitchen. I must have let the Sabatier slip. Why else the TCP?
Dave Broom
90- Nose
- Hugely complex. Big, powerful, rich. Heathery smoke, lanolin. Sweet notes from oak, soft caramelised fruits. Also liquorice, light roasted coffee, serrano ham, candle wax and spent wick.
- Palate
- Fantastically complex, the notes on the nose plus a mouthfilling mix of sweet, smoky and dry.
- Finish
- Very long, spices, oil, fragrant smoke.
- Comment
- Complex. A remarkable malt that thrills but saddens. Here's another light that's gone out.
