Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 42 by Gavin Smith and Dave Broom.

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

Gavin Smith

Nose
Very fragrant, violets and honey. A great nose.
Palate
Not surprisingly, some flat, oaky notes, but the honey, robust maltiness, and a tinge of smoke hold together to make this work rather well.
Finish
Drying sherry and oak, ultimately quite bitter and tannic.
Comment
Just about holds its own against the effects of excessive age. On the cusp!

Dave Broom

Nose
Plenty of wood. Plasticene, emulsion paint and amyl nitrate. Water reveals toasted oak, rich dried fruits, cumin/coriander powder.
Palate
Soft demerara sweetness. Toasted almond, grilled nut. Acquires some elegance, almost Cognac like. A floral, pot pourri note. Grippy oak.
Finish
Marzipan. Almond slices.
Comment
Strange nose but good flavours.
