Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Light at start then getting more intense. Butterscotch, vanilla syrup. And some wood notes. Fresh oak, sawdust. A touch of dark fruit. Blackcurrant wine gums.

Palate: Sweet, surprisingly sweet for the strength. Same toffee like profile followed by a sherbety feel. Drying out on spices.

Finish: Dry, spicy with a nutty aftertaste.

Comment: A well structured dram. It only needs a small dash of water to cut the edges.

Score: 7.8

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Milk chocolate, soft nougat bars. Then some chocolate Hobnob biscuits, oats and honey, then more intense fruits, roast pineapple and dark fruits.

Palate: Just explodes with spices and oak grip. Alcohol is well mastered. Some toffee and honey comes through as well.

Finish: Warming and spicy.

Comment: A stunner, so complex and engaging.

Score: 9
