Arthur Motley
92- Nose
- Germolene, whiteboard marker pens, tarry rope, and blackberries. Undiluted there is a light vegetal note that becomes silagey with water.
- Palate
- A lovely viscious texture at cask strength, with dark chocolate melting in pools of sweet, peaty butter.
- Finish
- Incessant phenols that cling till breakfast.
- Comment
- Old, intense and busting for an olifactory fight. Complex and grizzly, like Clint Eastwood in The Unforgiven.
Owen Barstow
85- Nose
- A dry smokiness with toffee and biscuit undertones. Maybe the brief tang of tropical fruits at the end? Pineapple?
- Palate
- Sweet at first, then drying. Honey and lemon. Salty mango lassie?
- Finish
- Oily and warming. Well structured phenols lead to a delightful wood smoke conclusion.
- Comment
- Well balanced and well structured. Instantly appetising.
