Tasting notes

Taster Martine Nouet

Nose: A green wood-like quality. Metallic almost like a warming radiator. A littlerye pep comes through as well.
Palate: That metallic note comes through but not in a bad way. There is a sweet caramel note here but also a medicinal tinge too.
Finish: Short and intriguing.
Comment: Curiosity makes me want more. Best neat and spare the water and ice.

7.5

Taster Dave Broom

Nose: Aluminium. Hard rye? Hot soldering iron. Harsh and odd. Has bourbon likenotes underneath.
Palate: More promising initially with some perfumed,violet-like notes and glossywood but becomes astringent.
Finish: Metallic.
Comment: Not working for me.
