Tasting Notes

Dave Broom Nose Looks like a rose wine, smells like a rose wine. Straw and strawberry. Sweet shop/dolly mixtures. Herbaceous. Palate Seems slightly confected but this is knocked aside as malt comes through. Soft fruits. Has balance. Finish Jammy. Comment This just balances the whisky and the finish.

Arthur Motley Nose Strawberry jam, pineapple and apples. Forest floor (earthy and leafy). Palate Victoria sponge. Very sweet and confected, but not in a nauseating way and underpinned with a little malty, cereal character. Finish More sweetness. Comment Another success. It walked that fine line between jammy and cloying, just about staying on the right side.
