Tasting notes

Taster Dave Broom

Nose: Spicy. Hot sawdust, fresh ginger, citrus zest. Crisp. With water fragrant oak, allspice, shortbread with sugar. Summery.
Palate: Dried apricot, tingling. Slightly sweet with good balance in the mid-palate. Hint of menthol.
Finish: Tingling ginger. Short but fresh.
Comment: Good energy, balance with surprising weight.

Taster Martine Nouet

Nose: Refreshing and gentle. Summer fruit. Melon. Vanilla pod. Touch of new leather. Developing on cooked fruit notes. Pear pie. Stewed peaches. Yeasty.
Palate: Delivers nose promises. Smooth and silky.
Finish: Fruity, gentle and slightly nutty.
Comment: Classic, gentle and pleasing. A consensual malt. Good match with salmon and light seafood dishes.
