Dave Broom
75- Nose
- Light and grassy and slightly stony to start. In time there's sweet persimmon and nut.
- Palate
- Pure and very clean. Sweet lime,green fruits then a hint of smoke and a buttery meadowsweet/chamomile note. Light to the point of fragility.
- Finish
- Honey,lemon and a little ginger.
- Comment
- Delicacy to the fore. A breakfast dram.
