Dave Broom
75- Nose
- Mature, cooked apple, quite chewy. Attics. Spent candles. Reminiscent of a chocolate chip cookie after being dunked. Becomes very sooty.
- Palate
- More like chimneys than attics. The chocolate is still there as are the aromatics. Hot!
- Finish
- Still soot.
- Comment
- The different elements haven't been pulled together. A better cask would have given some order and control.
Arthur Motley
77- Nose
- Gooseberries, rhubarb and watermelon flavoured Jolly Ranchers. Hay and wet varnish.
- Palate
- Vibrant fruitiness and textured sweetness. More watermelon sweets and Turkish Delight. With time a dried fish or prawny element appeared.
- Finish
- Green, sappy oakiness, some smoked fish.
- Comment
- An elegant oaky whisky, but the dried fish element was only apparent after half an hour in glass; most people will have glugged this by then.
