Tasting notes

Taster Martine Nouet

Nose: An outdoor whiff of aromas.Very fresh and invigorating.Like walking by the shore outside Bruichladdich on a wet day. Sweet notes emerge slowly. Maple syrup.
Palate: Lovely feel. Cheerful and fruity. Peach and cream tart.Pecan pie. A touch of treacle. Intricate. Delicious.
Finish: Smooth,delicately spiced (cinnamon and ginger).
Comment: An appetizing dram. Well-balanced and moreish. To be enjoyed with appropriate puddings.
