Tasting Notes

Dave Broom Nose Fleshily ripe. Dried pear, clotted cream with scented estery notes. With water there’s wholemeal bread, a touch of orange. Quite zippy. Palate A slightly strange mix of stewed fruit and dry malt tussling together. Hint of sulphur. Seems young suggesting greater things to come. Finish Long rich, lightly spiced slightly citric. Comment A teasing mix of aromas and flavours.

Arthur Motley Nose Orange: pith and rind. Lemon Jif and geraniums. Palate Dark chocolate, baked apples, hazelnuts and something sweet yet savoury like black bean sauce. Finish Dry roasted peanuts. Comment A full-on, after dinner style and a bold, characterful spirit.
