Dave Broom
77- Nose
- Full and thick with decent intensity. American oak: hot sawdust, cherry, spices. Sugared almond.
- Palate
- Sweet with banana and coconut to the fore. Ripe with just sufficient grip. A drop of water brings out the grass, giving it a fragrant edge.
- Finish
- Medium.
- Comment
- Proof (if it were needed) that Cooley is a serious player.
Gavin Smith
72- Nose
- Quite bourbon-like. Vanilla, maple syrup, and even a suggestion of menthol. Ice cream and fudge sauce.
- Palate
- Initially, drier and more oaky than the nose promises, but with developing stewed fruits.
- Finish
- Short and slightly bitter. Disappointing.
- Comment
- The luxurious nose raises expectations that the palate can't quite match.
