77- Nose
- Sherry. Peaches. Raisins. Lemon skins. Lemon pith.
- Palate
- Firm. Emphatic malty sweetness, then leafy dryness. Earthy. A hint of peat. Also some oak.
- Finish
- Crisp to the point of being sudden.
- Comment
- I found myself writing some of the same descriptors as I did 15 or 20 years ago. That says something for the consistency of this product.
Dave Broom
60- Nose
- Malty, leathery with some soft fruit and a slightly feinty note. Water brings out smoky notes oak, vanilla.
- Palate
- Some smokiness here as well though a fairly dry mid-palate. Water thins it very disappointingly.
- Finish
- A little feinty.
- Comment
- Disappointing. Seems to have the elements of a good whisky but nothing has knitted.
