Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Very light and slightly exposed. Malty/dusty flour sacks, felt. A little vegetal. With water, oaky.

Palate: Better than the rather plain nose with better integration. Lemon, flour again giving a slightly puffy quality. Hints of a floral border. Water picks it up a little more adding sweetness, but preserving clean acidity.

Finish: Delicate.

Comment: Once in the mouth things start to happen but a little too restrained.

Score: 7.3

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Sweet, light. Citrussy. Lemon meringue pie. Fresh almonds.

Palate: Satin-like. Sweet. With the same citrussy profile as on the nose. Lemon posset. Creamy. Touch of aniseed. Drying on ginger notes.

Finish: Clean, short, with an almond aftertaste coming through.

Comment: A well knitted dram, fresh and straightforward. For a warm (if any ?) summer evening.

Score: 7.7
