Taster Martine Nouet

Nose: Restrained.Grassy.Herbal tea. Verbena.Medicinal but on the herbal tea side not the TCP one.Toblerone.
Palate: Thick,syrupy.Sweet.Cereal bowl. Squeezed orange.
Finish: Spicy,dry. Fizzy.
Comment: Very satisfying.A beautiful bourbon cask maturation. Superb to match with a cheesecake or lemon meringue pie. But the sting of the bee must be blunt,I did not feel it.
