Dave Broom
70- Nose
- Foursquare and solid. Musk. Lanolin and a butiric note. Smoke, cigar leaf, wet leather.
- Palate
- Immediate robust smokiness. Coal scuttle. Slightly biscuity. In time wood and a coriander seed spiciness. Slightly salty. The butiric note is just apparent. Rich and powerful.
- Finish
- Oily and long. Robust.
- Comment
- A big beast, but the butiric knocks its score down.
Arthur Motley
92- Nose
- Intense, with a sweet burning rubber, scorched treacle toffee, peat. An essential oil character too, somewhere between rosemary and tea tree. Some coal tar soap and ghee.
- Palate
- Spicy, peaty: kappow! The peatiness and the spices remind me of Moroccan food.
- Finish
- Harissa paste.
- Comment
- A real bruiser, that comes out with fists flying.
