Dave Broom
- Nose
- Nutty to start. Quite crisp with fresh orange peel,dried flowers and an odd note akin to linoleum. Vanilla and with water ginger. Seems young.
- Palate
- Dusty/powdery start with light spice. Balanced though.Some milk chocolate,dried grass and just the trace of fading flowers.
- Finish
- Spice.
- Comment
- Balanced if not hugely complex.
Rob Allanson
- Nose
- Initially coffee then a polish note comes through. There is orange here in abundance but tempered with a floral edge. A little spice zing lurks too.
- Palate
- Pretty light given the nose. Malty sweetness and vanilla dominate. A little oak adds some dryness to give good balance.
- Finish
- Lingering with good grip.
- Comment
- An enjoyable whisky which will do well as a summer drink.
