Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Fruity. Juicy peach and nectarine. Tangerine. A floral note. Freesia. Mouth-watering. Goes from freshly squeezed fruit to cooked ones. Plums marmalade with raisins.

Palate: Round, velvety. The same fruit galore, but framed by oak. Fruit stewed in honey. Peach and pears spiced with cinnamon.

Finish: Sweet, quite short but clean.

Comment: An edible Archimboldo painting! Delicious. To enjoy like a pudding.

Score: 8.3

Dominic Roskrow

Taster

Nose: Bright and perfumey, almost liqueur-like, with orange and some wine notes in the mix.

Palate: Rich with a full mouth feel, intense orange marmalade and then cocoa and a bitter citrus note later on.

Finish: The cocoa and spice take over from the fruit. Quite long.

Comment: Further proof that Europe has something very special indeed to offer the world of whisky.

Score: 8.1
