Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Nose
Very light and scented. Citrus, beeswax, coconut powder, coumarin/herbs/pot pourri. Barely seems anchored.
Palate
Fragrant, floral and delicate. Rather fragile and slightly thinner than 16.
Finish
Smoke.
Comment
A ghost-like dram almost too elusive to grasp.

Arthur Motley

Nose
Lots of ripe fruits: banana, kiwi, pink grapefruit and melon. Cutting through this are other notes of grappa, sappy wood, fennel and tomato stalks.
Palate
Sweet peach, a little peat and sweet vanilla.
Finish
Grapefruit and drying woodiness.
Comment
Another nose that produces involuntary smugness.
