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.
