Tasting Notes

Dave Broom Nose Once again alcohol is the main characteristic. High-toned and slightly soapy. Light mint, fir trees. Plastic here as well. Palate Quite sweet and rigidly structured. Not bad with water. A clean sweet centre suggesting a spirit which is beginning to come together, but is far from complete. Finish Some length and residual sweetness. Comment We’re moving in the right direction here.

Ian Buxton Nose Spirity, anaesthetic, faded vanilla extract. Palate Flavour notes seem under-developed and overwhelmed by the spirit. Finish Spirit dominates. Comment May develop with time.
