Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Nose
Mealy with some sweet grassiness. Apple purée, wet fern and a floral character (lilac) . Some toasty oak below. Good creamy sweetness.
Palate
Intense and focused with real lemon tartness to start. Mellows into clotted cream, tangerine and a crisp oak giving balancing grip.
Finish
Surprisingly dry.
Comment
A huge leap in quality from the old 10 Years Old.

Martine Nouet

Nose
Refreshing, fragrant. Fruit cake, crystallised violets. Candyfloss. Liquorice toffee. Very confectionery-like.
Palate
Very much in tune with the nose. Smooth, round and fresh. With water, malt extract.
Finish
Carrying on the same aromatic path. Minty and aniseed losanges. Oat in the back.
Comment
A very linear aromatic display. No surprise. Just pleasant.
