Rob

Nose: Distant pine, mellowing tobacco leaf, seasoned wood stacks. A little salted beef, daffodils on the turn and damp tweed. Sweetness hits in the form of Golden Syrup.

Palate: Gentle and soft, cola cubes and cherry flavoured sherbet.

Milk chocolate with honeycomb. Banana bread with full fat salted butter on top. Exotic toasted spices, with plenty of turmeric.

Finish: Short but kicks up those spices a gear to a different level.

Comments: Good and balanced, nice and punchy for that 40%ABV. Worth a decent look. 8.2

Christopher

Nose: Red apples, vanilla essence and orange blossom water.

Palate: Very light, with sweet red apple and a pleasant nutty, brown bread note. Vanilla sponge and butter icing.

Finish: Medium, lingering on the nuttiness and butter icing.

Comments: Very light and almost a little too drinkable. Would make great ‘party whisky’. 7.6
