Tasting Notes

Arthur Motley Nose Cress, Jif lemon, pizza dough, bran and wet grass. Lemon pith. Palate Spirity, sweet and a little bland. A faint woodiness at the end. Finish Largely absent, but a soggy biscuit character. Comment I know, I know – it's a Lowland! Still, I want a little more from a whisky. Full stop.

Dave Broom Nose A quite distant, slightly lean, unformed nose. Sugared almond, fondant icing, pear drop, muddy field, peanut skin. Palate Fine-boned and intense. Good quite vibrant, youthful feel. Alcohol. Finish Very short. Comment Not much interaction between spirit and wood immature. Light and clean but lacking in oomph.
