Dave Broom
80- Nose
- A bit shy to start. Mossy with touches of pear, wine gums, apple juice. Gentle, smooth.
- Palate
- Mint chocolate, light cocoa and a crunchy texture which softens and is given a lift by tangerine, fruit jelly and berries. Balanced by a clove/cinnamon spiciness.
- Finish
- Berries. Quite short and a light, oaky grip.
- Comment
- Seamlessly put together. Best drunk neat.
Arthur Motley
70- Nose
- Pow! Lots of oaky tannins, and American oak-like character. Vanilla and pine wood sap. Some soft fruits and a little heather smoke too.
- Palate
- Boff! Again more of these bourbon-like oak tannins but some malt character hiding underneath.
- Finish
- More sappy woodiness.
- Comment
- Is this Scotch I thought? Yes, but not as we are used to it. Interesting.
