Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 63 by Dave Broom and Arthur Motley.

Whisky Magazine is the perfect complement to the dram in your glass. Every issue brings you fascinating articles on the art, science and romance of the 'water of life', plus page after page of tasting notes.

Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Nose
Strawberry and rosehip once more but this has some greater substance and depth. Some smoke in there as well. Slight touch of youth.
Palate
Sweet quite concentrated fruits. Again hinting at depth. Lightly phenolic.
Finish
Good length mixing woodsmoke and hedgerow fruits.
Comment
A success.

Arthur Motley

Nose
Some sherry-like dried fruit notes, with some berries and spice too. There’s smoke too with a little oaty cereal character.
Palate
Very sweet initially, with vanilla and treacle toffee, with cinnamon spice and dryness coming through later. Some berry fruit is in the delivery too.
Finish
A thread of smoke.
Comment
Another successful finish where the cask input seemed to work with the spirit.
