Tasting Notes

Gavin Smith

Nose
Sweet. Herbal, vegetal, notes, but also meaty yeastiness. Some madeira wineyness.
Palate
Dense body. Rye-like mintiness. Sweet and vegetal again. Flavours reminiscent of snow peas.
Finish
Spicy. Hint of ginger. Warming, soothing.
Comment
The process is unusual, and so are the resultant flavours, but this is a very drinkable whisky in its own right. I was a sceptic, but no longer.

Dave Broom

Nose
Young. Lightly nutty with hints of cream, pear/cooking apple. Sherberty with some pine needle. With water a burnt note. Raisin bread.
Palate
Smooth and fairly sweet. Vanilla, lemon and currant. Clean and gentle.
Finish
Young, green. Pencil shavings.
Comment
Dangos cyntaf eithriadol o dda gan y chwisgi (ifanc iawn) yma. Un i'w wylio, yn sicr. As they say in Wales.
