Tasting Notes

Dave Broom Nose Edgy and slightly metallic. Seems young; green walnut, unripe fruits. Slightly sweeter with water, but still hard overall. Palate Some daffodil-like floral aromas. Light pear, but very thin with water. Finish Sudden. Dry and hollow. Comment This metallic edge suggests the use of young grain that hasn’t matured out fully.

Gavin Smith Nose A most unusual, high, furniture polish and spirity nose. Acetone and meths, yet not unattractive. Palate Oily, with dark berries and malt. Finish Quite short and nutty. Lingering vanilla behind oak. Comment A curious beast, indeed.
