Tasting Notes

Dave Broom Nose Rich with cedar and a sweet perfumed lift. Dusty with some dried flower. Has real poise and elegance considering the strength. Water layers the aromas well bringing out some char as well as scented Chinese tea. Palate Sweet and concentrated with strawberry and cherry. Sweet juicy fruits then toffee, sandalwood and even incense. Big and thick on the palate. Balanced. Finish Spicy great length. Comment Copes with high alcohol well. Great balance, poise and sophistication.

Dominic Roskrow Nose Glazed cherries, cedarwood, dusty polished leather. Palate Dark chocolate dipped cherries, spearmint and spice. Finish Long and warming. Comment A fine and full bourbon all-rounder.
