Nose
Fruit-unpeeled apricot? Fragrant. Hint of creamy peppermint.
Palate
Silky. Delicate. Scottish tablet. Kendal mint cake. Very subtle fruitness.
Finish
More delicate minty dryness.
Comment
Stylish and cool. Supper club whisky.

Dave Broom

Nose
Big, soft-hearted nose: honeycomb, mead, exotic spice, rose petal, butter, light wood and ozone.
Palate
Hugely silky and ripe: a whiff of smoke, peach, mango. All very rich, waxy and long.
Finish
Soft, honeyed and gentle with some light smoke.
Comment
Voluptuous and deeply sexy. More of a cousin to Black than a brother.
