Nose
Buttery but with a butyric edge. Herbal, aniseed. Shortbread. Dry hay.
Palate
Fresh, clean, sweet. Malty and minty.
Finish
Medium, some spices (paprika, ginger). A bit grippy. An earthy touch.
Comment
A decent dram, a little heavy on the palate though. You need to like oaky aftertaste to fully appreciate it.

Dave Broom

77
Nose
Light smoke? Salami, pulpy fruits, crisp oak, gentle malt, some resin, toasted.
Palate
Oxidised and fruity. Old pears, slightly chewy. Wood smoke from the middle. Slightly green, seems young.
Finish
Fruity then spiced.
Comment
Has some varied character. Good.
