Dave Broom
81- Nose
- There's an initial whiff of glue but then the smoke builds. This time it's tar and creosote,liquorice and a lightly fragrant note. Water reveals bay leaves and drying fishing nets.
- Palate
- Very sweet start,patisserie,melon then it shifts gear and becomes kiln like (dusty) with pipe tobacco.
- Finish
- Fresh fish oatcakes and after an age, wellies.
- Comment
- This has an extra dimension and added energy. Beautiful balance.
Rob Allanson

- Palate
- Sweet at first then moves into a more earthy notes.
- Finish
- The smoke comes in waves.
- Comment
- Islay in a glass,it will take you back there instantly.
