Nose
Edible seaweed. Estery. Fruity. Children’s sweets. Jelly beans. Palate
Lightly syrupy. Rose-water, sweet lemons, coconut. Finish
Late saltiness. Cedary balancing dryness. Comment
Clean, fresh and refreshing. A whisky for the beach?
Dave Broom
Nose
Soft and mealy with aromas on the orange/lemon side. There’s some chocolate, cereal, dry grass and a sulphury note. Palate
Light and soft with sweet vanilla mid-palate. Iced Gems and cake. Finish
Gentle. Comment
Has more substance than the nose suggests. Subtle.
