Nose
Heavy, blossomy aroma. Fruit trees. Fresh limes.
Palate
Gentle, slow start. Leafy, malty. Brooding.
Finish
Surge of spicy, sandy flavours.
Comment
Lively, expressive, enjoyable.

Dave Broom

Nose
A barrel in a dunnage warehouse. Green oak with a fresh floral note playing against earthy notes. Layers of fruit, vanilla, chocolate, sugared almonds.
Palate
Spicy, elegant, wood in perfect balance. Apricot, dried apple, spice. Orange, cakey, sweetness.
Finish
Fresh, then soft, sweet fruit.
Comment
A whisky which needs time, thank god we're seeing some great old examples.
