Tasting Notes

Dave Broom Nose Beeswax, then a powerful acetone note. This then becomes more chemical-like, akin to gloss paint. Was this distilled in a hardware superstore rather than a distillery? Palate Coconut to start but the effect is similar to drinking air freshener. Slightly dusty. Finish Glue. Comment This just hasn’t been allowed to mature out. The result being it’s harsh and all over the shop.

Ian Buxton Nose Some wood and sherry notes. Slightly artificial. Palate Wood dominates. Immature? Finish Short finish disappoints. Comment Falls apart with water.
