Tasting Notes

Dave Broom Nose Take some butter. Add more butter. Then some sugar. Mix them together. Smell. Palate The butter now deepens into cream with some vanilla sugar or maybe even white chocolate Light grip. Touch of tangerine peel. Thins with water. Finish Short and drying. Comment They’ve done their best to improve a poor cask, but it’s one note all the way.

Arthur Motley Nose Lots of zest citrus character, especially grapefruit. Lemon fudge. Palate An old and complex malt with great progression in the mouth. More of that citrus, backed with sweet caramel. Finish Dry woodiness. Comment First taste was amazing, second a little bit flat.
