Nose
Toffeeish. Fruity. Palate
Roses. Fruits. A suggestion of milk chocolate. Finish
Firm balancing oaky dryness. Comment
A beautifully composed whisky. No aggression, but a great sense of authority.
Dave Broom
Nose
Fairly rich: dried fig, hard toffee, chocolate, light smoke. Rich and fruity with drier notes of sacking, redwood, walnut. Palate
Firm with positive grip. Dried fruits/coffee grounds sit in the centre surrounded by oak. Tea-like tannins, dry spices. Finish
Dusty. Comment
A dry whisky that wakes the palate up.
