Dave Broom
80- Nose
- Clean, medium-rich and sweet. Golden syrup, caramel, preserved lemon and a little waxiness , underpinned by cooked fruit, herbs shading into pine and sanded wood.
- Palate
- cumin and coriander and black cherry. Sweet and substantial.
- Finish
- Smoky wood.
- Comment
- Interesting how a few years ago an 8yo bourbon would have been considered old, yet here you can still pick put ‘youthful' vibrancy.

87- Nose
- Fragrant and rich. Exotic wood. Sandalwood. Fading rose. Orange peel. Nutmeg, hint of cinnamon. Like a dusty pot-pourri. Fruit come in waves. Cooked first, damson plum jam, the dried. Apple peel, raisins.
- Palate
- Crisp but not dry. A well balanced sweetness releasing luscious fruit flavours and spices.
- Finish
- Full, concentrated, with a slight astringency. Peppery too.
- Comment
- A very well-balanced whiskey. The alcohol is perfectly mastered.
