Dave Broom
77- Nose
- Thick and slightly oily. Boiled sweets, then a melange of fruit. Water increases the perfume and calms things down.
- Palate
- Starts dry then oily then fruity. Very silky then tinned fruit, smoke, charred wood and salt.
- Finish
- A little cloying.
- Comment
- These strange combinations make me think of an unconventionally beautiful model like Erin O'Connor.
Arthur Motley
82- Nose
- Chutney spices, like a good homemade tomato and onion chutney. Homemade plum jam. Marmalade on malt loaf. Wet peat. A box of dark chocolates.
- Palate
- More floral than the nose, with a little peat smoke.
- Finish
- Some meatiness and cloves.
- Comment
- Bags of flavour and a good duel between cask and spirit.
