Tasting Notes

Peter Mulryan Nose Pot still and candied peel. Palate An almost too subtle combination of dry biscuits and lush sherry. The pot still is a bit too well behaved for my liking. Finish Malted milk drink for adults. Comment A very decent and reserved blend that is simply overshadowed and outclassed by the 12 Years Old.

Dave Broom Nose Has complexity and maturity. Full pot still weight, lush and oily with rye, stewed apple, malt loaf, burnt raisin, cooked pear, vanilla pod, dubbin, cocoa. Palate Slides into the mouth. A good firm structure with light wood then semi-dried fruits and peels. Finish Refreshingly crisp. Big and fruity. Comment Big-boned, but the most restrained of the big boys.
