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.
