Tasting Notes

Dave Broom Nose Acetone and burning plastic. Light and rumlike fragrance. Citrus oils. Palate A positive change from that slightly odd nose. Scented grass, apple blossom. A lacy feel to it. A drift of smoke just discernible. Finish Gentle and sweet. Orchard fruit. Comment One for the palate and not the nose.

Arthur Motley Nose A perfumed fruitiness, like a very ripe and fragrant pear. Lemon fudge. Palate A viscous, oily texture, and more of that lovely pear and some apple crumble. Finish Sponge cake. Comment Good sipping malt with pleasing sweetness and satisfying texture.
