Dave Broom
- Nose
- Glows in the glass. Dark fruits and creme brulee. Lots of polished oak, some pine and coconut,menthol and liqueur chocolates.
- Palate
- Heavily structured. Very tight and not allowing the spirit to speak. Any flavour has been replaced by grip.
- Finish
- Tannic.
- Comment
- Great nose but disappointing palate. It's not as simple as ‘what's the right age',but at what point has the cask done its job. This has gone too far.
Martine Nouet
- Nose
- Intense,rich and elegant. Fruity. Damson plum. A touch of redcurrant. Subtle spiciness. Getting creamier when aerated. Not the usual aromas of a bourbon.
- Palate
- Sweet. Does not totally release the nose promises though.
- Finish
- Intense,with a clean oakytonality.
- Comment
- The strange tawny colour suggests a wine finish. A bourbon dressed in unusual clothes.
