Tasting Notes

Peter Mulryan Nose Musky vanilla and mashed linseeds. Palate Firm citrus fruitiness, viscous and mouth coating. Finish Tonic water dryness, light sherry. Comment Not as interesting as it used to be, this brand teetering on the brink of bland.

Dave Broom Nose Soft and creamy (coconut), acetone, then a hard metallic note reminiscent of aluminium cigar tubes. Peanut brittle. Has some sweetness with water, but there's some young stuff in there. Palate Light, soft, grassy. Vanilla, cane juice, apricot jam. With water a nagging harshness. Finish Dry raffia, wet reeds. Comment Distinctly average. Very disappointing.
