Tasting Notes

Arthur Motley

Nose
Pencil erasers, a faint peat, tropical fruit, and a little chalkiness. A slightly vegetal note crept in, almost cabbagey.
Palate
A pleasing rounded maltiness, followed by a crisp mineral-like character.
Finish
Slightly sicky.
Comment
Marked down for that cabbagey character – right back to school dinners.

Dave Broom

Nose
Fat and buttery to start, then a weird vegetal note emerges alongside something akin to a flat sports drink (Lucozade/Pokari Sweat?) then sulphur, heavily chlorinated swimming pools, cheese and sour baby vomit (ie butyric). Mmmm!!
Palate
Oily and a little rubbery coconut.
Finish
Sadly long.
Comment
The oak trying to cover a very poor spirit.
