Tasting Notes

Dave Broom Nose Back to oiliness again. This time oilskins along with cream, light smoke and an earthy quality. Cherry and pear. Palate Fragrant fruitiness. Very lifted and charming. Tinned cling peaches... Finish Pears topped with tinned cream. Comment Light and discreet. Perfectly pleasant but not exactly exciting.

Arthur Motley Nose Candied lemon, some smoke, and a slightly sulphury in the background. Fruit salad and some dry grassiness. Palate Sweet malt, fruit cocktail and vanilla custard, with a lightly syrupy texture. Finish Custard cream biscuits. Comment Not overly complex but very pleasant flavour and well textured. A sunny session dram.
