Dave Broom
79- Nose
- Big-boned and gentle with decent dusty rye alongside toffee apple, herbs and and crisp new warehouse oakiness. Becomes woody with water.
- Palate
- Cinnamon/cassia and the sweet dustiness comes through notes of damask rose and grippy wood.
- Finish
- Firm and oaky.
- Comment
- A powerful distillate which is best neat.
Martine Nouet
74- Nose
- Perfumy. Parma violet. Dried apricot. Quite a solid oaky frame. Polished furniture. Touch of sandalwood. Vetiver. Rhubarb jam.
- Palate
- Crisp and dry. Oak is overwhelming with a definite astringency which tends to mask the fruit flavours. Spices take the lead.
- Finish
- Spicy and bitter.
- Comment
- An old bourbon which has taken too much wood. Sad as there is elegancy and complexity on the nose.
