Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Floral and malty. Ivy. Sweet cereals. Fresh paint. Cedar. Polished floors. A touch of marzipan. Apples in puff pastry. Buttery.

Palate: Fresh and minty. Quite chewy. Spices emerge but not excessively so. A splash of water brings out flavours.

Finish: Satisfying, warm and spicy.

Comment: A pleasant anytime dram. Very refreshing.

Score: 7.5

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Lifted. Apple wood, heather, baked soft fruits mixed with cereal, citrus and pear. In time there's notes of freshly-sawn wood, freesia and dried orange peel. Complex but light as well.

Palate: Light and fragrant. All the notes on the nose come through. Medium-bodied and gentle.

Finish: Dry and clean.

Comment: Right back on form. Is some more mature stock being blended in?

Score: 8
