Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Nose
Flat and soft. Acetone once again, biscuit, hot crumpet, oily and slightly smoky with water.
Palate
A somewhat unhappy amalgam of the oak and a young spirit. The former is beginning to soften and bring out some sweetness but is also quite grippy. All rather uneasy.
Finish
Hard.
Comment
Another let-down. Lacking in coherence.

Ian Buxton

Nose
Biscuits. Wood smoke. Complex.
Palate
Smooth and rounded.
Finish
Long and consistent.
Comment
Probably the best of the bunch.
