Tasting notes

Taster Martine Nouet

Nose: Big smoke but wrapped in sharp fruits and damp cotton,like a T-shirt you have worn near a bonfire,but the day after. Very delicate floral notes,but something bracken like lurking as well.
Palate: Smoke fills the mouth but this subsides and leaves a sweet soapyand nutty layer.
Finish: The smoke keeps on going.
Comment: The rum seems to add fruit and a nuttiness to this great dram.

8.2

Taster Dave Broom

Nose: Gooseberries and smoke mixed with a wicker/bamboo basket filled with clean laundry. More smoke with water along with light date syrup.
Palate: Immediate smoke,countered with fruit syrups,sweet nuts. The smoke threads its way through all of this. Good integration.
Finish: Long and slightly smoked.
Comment: A constantly shifting but balanced mix of sweetness and smoke anddistillery character.
