Tasting notes

Taster Martine Nouet

Nose: Discrete and restrained. Light fruit and flowers. Marshmallow. Turkish delight. Orange drop. A touch of barley sugar. All aromas aredimmed,likeawashdrawing.On time delivers spices.
Palate: Smooth with a broader expression than on the nose. Quite spicy. Gingerand wasabi.
Finish: Dry but soothing with fresh almond notes.
Comment: A whispering whisky,especially on the nose. Will not stand in front of big guys in tastings.But I like its fresh delicacy.

Palate: Clean and soft,sweet melon,mixed fruits. Pleasant but unspectacular.
Finish: Soft,sweet and quite more-ish.
Comment: Really that old? Perhaps it's a bit tired.
