Tasting Notes

Peter Mulryan

Nose
An intense assault of pear drops, lime peel and Haribo jelly sweets. Incredibly fruity.
Palate
Very creamy but not as sweet as the nose would lead you to believe. Loads of grassy spice with honeyed oak after a moment.
Finish
Quinine dry.
Comment
This malt used to be a tad young, the current bottling is older and certainly works better.

Dave Broom

Nose
Oaky. Balsa wood, young spirit. Malt husks and a green, grappa-like note.
Palate
Thin and dilute. Soft fruits in centre, but overpowered by tightly gripping oak and lemony spirit.
Finish
Dry, short.
Comment
Young, hard to back.
