Dave Broom
92- Nose
- Immensely complex and mature with great breadth of aromas. Weighty but with fragrant spice. In time polished oak giving it balancing dryness.
- Palate
- Layers of complexity with honeyed rich fruits cut through with citrus and spice. Concentrated, luscious, a slow-motion explosion.
- Finish
- Long, elegant, balanced.
- Comment
- This is head and shoulders above everything else in this tasting. Fills all the senses.
Arthur Motley
77- Nose
- Raisins, cumin, butter, pot pourri, warm bread. Peshwari Naan filling.
- Palate
- Raisins and peach syrup. Some European tannins.
- Finish
- Sweet malt and some grassiness.
- Comment
- Slight spiciness adds some zing to an otherwise pleasingly sweet dram.
