Dave Broom
75- Nose
- Restrained and salty linseed. Slightly skeletal and needs time to open which puts some flesh on the bones, as does a decent splash of water. Cod liver oil, juniper/pine. Medicinal. Deep Heat rub.
- Palate
- Oily and smoky. Direct and open faced. Feisty and slightly, aggressive. Hot reminiscent of wasabi on sashimi.
- Finish
- Seashell, prickly.
- Comment
- Takes no prisoners.
Arthur Motley
87- Nose
- Watermelon, lemon pith and rind. Hot sauna wood, dry haystacks and wet woodsmoke. Coastal, with the smell of fish on the breeze.
- Palate
- Sweet, smoky with wood cutting through a thick texture. Apple sauce, tar and lemon notes are over-lain but a persistent smoky undcurrent.
- Finish
- A complex and long-lasting finish that is a combination of fizzy, earthy and spicy.
- Comment
- Took a while and a bit of water to open up so don't rush it.
