Tasting notes

Taster Ian Wisniewski

Nose: Mellow and compact,vanilla,honey, then malty notes,cider and a toasty edge.
Palate: Creamy vanilla and chocolate laced with toastyness,cappuccino and subtle oak dryness,then a citrus anddried fruit garnish.
Finish: Oak asserts itself before crème brûlée and dark chocolate join in.
Comment: An ideal digestif,with flavours that resemble a medley of desserts.

8.8

Taster Martine Nouet

Nose: Nutty. Oak is present. Seems to better integrate with toffee notes on time. Touch of honey. A faint smoky touch.
Palate: Smooth and soft. A little watery and bland. Opens up on spices with a nutty hint.
Finish: Dry,spicy,restrained.
Comment: A well-knitted dram,although suffering from being bottled at 40%.
