Dave Broom
70- Nose
- Another sherry bomb,this time with big roasted notes. Mocha and slight meatiness. Bitter cacao. Barbeque,dry timber,struck match.
- Palate
- Big sulphur character. Meaty with some liquorice and walnut. Has presence and a firm grip. With water it stretches into bitter peels.
- Finish
- Tight and slightly smoky.
- Comment
- Big and tannic. Would add structure to a blend.

70- Nose
- Woody. An unpleasant rubbery note (warm tyre). Grippy oak. Damp wood. Earthy. Moss. Hint of treacle and burnt sugar. Walnut stain. Dark chocolate.
- Palate
- Wood has the power. Hard to taste anything else than oak. Bitter with a sweet touch. Maybe a taste of cocoa powder.
- Finish
- Dry,bitter. Musty.
- Comment
- If you look for balance and layers of flavours,this whisky is not for you. Nor for me !
