Tasting Notes

Arthur Motley Nose Seaweed, creosote, and fish. Potent, sweet and sour. With water there are jelly sweets and silage, horse dung and fag ash. Palate Sweet, peaty, and a little coal tar soap. Finish Dry and ashy. Comment Speyside you say, eh? A real region buster, and I loved that sootiness.

Dave Broom Nose Light and perfumed top notes (green apple, lemon zest, lily) with some sweet hay, then comes a smokiness like burning stubble. Black pepper. Palate Sweet floral start, an rounded centre mixing grass (silage), smoke and a dusty note like angelica. Some coconut. Finish Smoked chilli. Comment Thanks for bottling this Sukhinder, now, Jim Beam...follow that!!
