Tasting Notes

Dave Broom Nose Distinctly odd. A child’s coat pocket; strawberry chewits and melted toffee. Hugely sweet, butterscotch. Palate A tight start, but a flabby centre. Stewed red fruit and caramel. Strangely dilute. Finish Disappears in a haze of saccharine sweetness. Comment Front-loaded, clumsy and forced. Bunna’s good enough on its own.

Arthur Motley Nose Fudgy, raisiny sweetness, green apples and fresh cut parsnips. An antiseptic, floor polish. Palate A good, oily and unchillfiltered texture, with jam, fruit and nut toffee, a little creosote and some orange. Finish Some sweet medical character, like Savlon. Comment Rather subdued on the nose, but a lovely, texture malt to drink.
