Tom Moore 40%
New Make Spirit – Very Old Bottle
Tasted: Apr 2013
A light and floral nose which is a touch spirity. Lightly oiled corn, liquorice root notes are prominent. Edgy, a little unclean (natural?) and slightly soapy with hints of white vinegar and muted spices.
The palate is soft, lightly floral with some corn meal notes. Lightly oiled with a straw-like uncleanliness. For 40% it certainly has a kick to it with some lightly bitter rye spices on the middle. Reasonable length with a drying, slightly metallic finish.
