Tasting Notes

Dave Broom Nose Dry, with some raisin, toasted tea cake, wholemeal flour. A slight lactic touch goes with the addition of water, while the nuts turn into Ovaltine. Palate Pretty firm, though given a sugared almond sweetness. Soft-centred. Finish Clean and nutty. Comment An old malty number just about holding its own, but it hasn’t gained hugely in terms of complexity.

Arthur Motley Nose Tasty warm flapjacks, and orange muffins. Sweet orange blossom and good milk chocolate. Palate Orange, a green oakiness and lots of dryness. Finish Sulphurous, like roast pork crackling. Comment Avery dry palate, but a pleasant drop nonetheless.
