Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Toffee. Earthy. Humus.Wet wood. Cubèbe pepper and long peppercorns.Raisins. Multilayered. Quite complex.

Palate: Medium bodied. Nicely flowing on the tongue. Delivers dried fruit then spices. The same layered structure as the nose. Maple syrup.

Finish: Refreshing and drying on soft spices.

Comment: A well knitted bourbon. No sharp edges but no excess sweetness either.

Score: 8
