Dave Broom
92- Nose
- Elegant mature nose which mixes nougat, peppermint, green/stewed apple then a perfumed lemon-grass quality. Fragrant and highly concentrated citrus, light smoke.
- Palate
- Complex and layered Cool and clean with dribbly fruit syrups and light grip. Very light smoke on an extended and evolved palate.
- Finish
- Orange bitters and embers, passion fruit and light liquorice.
- Comment
- Sheer classiness and head and shoulders above the rest for me.
Rob Allanson
86- Nose
- A delicate hit of smoke, sort of distant bonfires. Eucalyptus honey. Fir trees and forest floors. Oak slowly comes through with vanilla.
- Palate
- Big spicy mouthfeel, makes your mouth water. Swwetness at the core and the smoke has vanished.
- Finish
- Big oak sweetness.
- Comment
- A warming dram. Well balanced and harmonious.
