Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes by Dave Broom for Whisky Magazine
NoseQuite 'open', even exposed, initially
There's wood, scented candles and incense - very religious! In time, a lovely dustiness takes over: rose petals.
Rating
8.8/10
Comment
PalateLess dusty than the nose with more deep fruits, liquorice and a burnt edge. Seasonally it's late autumn with stout shoes tramping over wet leaves.
FinishLong and Solid and Full.
CommentsA big, bold statement and with great balance between cask and spirit.
Producer's Tasting Notes
Powerful, treacle toffee, fudge. Like a freshly made pan of tablet and licking thick vanilla goo off a metal spoon.
Very fresh, a lot less sweet on the palate than you were experiencing on the nose. Grassy earthy notes also pushing their way through.
Medium finish Glenfarclas, lovely taste of fresh cut grass.
