Dave Broom
- Nose
- Huge colour for one so young, suggesting a very active cask. Big hit of smoke, sandalwood. Additive style with the firmness of youth and a big uptake of fresh oak. Polenta, nettle, and slightly resinous. Exotic.
- Palate
- Immediate woodsmoke, with some of the rubberiness typical of young peaty whiskies.
- Finish
- Clean and smoky.
- Comment
- Has more presence than cask 447 thanks to the smoke which allows the spirit to show through some pretty domineering oak. A market for a developing style.
Rob Allanson
- Nose
- Very earthy, moss, bracken, walking in a pine forest. Hot stones, slightly medicinal too, coal tar soap.
- Palate
- Crisp with masses of sweetness up front. Cough sweet.
- Finish
- Dry with a little soot.
- Comment
- Quite surprising, the nose takes you one way but the palate is immense.
