Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Intense, waxy and malty. Lemon granité. A medicinal touch. Herbal. Opens on toasted hazelnuts and green tomatoes.

Palate: Smooth, thick, rich and coating. Creamy at first (toffee) then getting very peppery.

Finish: Very hot with a touch of green oak and almond milk.

Comment: Characterful, vivid but not complex. 'Tastes'

Score: 7.5

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Coconut again, but this time shell. Beeswax. Lightly grassy. Light smoke.

Palate: Light fruit. Nutty and polished. Smoke is there but not as well knitted as the 12 Years Old.

Finish: Short. Smoked.

Comment: Just lacks the energy and extra dimension of the 12 Years Old.

Score: 7.5
