Dave Broom
82- Nose
- Slightly muted with light cereal, trail mix, energy bar and dried cherry. Rounded and moving into maturity. Shows complexity.
- Palate
- A gentle, subtle smoked paprika flavour along with jammy fruit, then musky shiitake funkiness.
- Finish
- Touch of pine with a little bitterness.
- Comment
- A big warming dram whose generosity of flavour comes as a relief after a couple of meanies.
Arthur Motley
75- Nose
- Cherry liqueur, hay, grappa, and some sour fruitiness. A smoking gun barrel. Some floral mossiness and a little damp peat.
- Palate
- Stewed fruits and raisins, and more of that moss.
- Finish
- A gentle bitterness.
- Comment
- Elements of many of the flavour groups creates a balanced, Highland-style malt.
