Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Fruity and sweet. Ripe cherry plums, almond milk, acacia honey.

Palate: Smooth and velvety. A caressing feel, quite thick. Good balance. As fruity as on the nose. Plums with a hint of prunes.

Finish: Medium, with a pleasant dry spiciness. Soothes down on an almondy note.

Comment: A perfectly balanced dram. Fruit and spices mingle gently.

Score: 8

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Light and grassy and slightly stony to start. In time there's sweet persimmon and nut.

Palate: Pure and very clean. Sweet lime, green fruits then a hint of smoke and a buttery meadow sweet/chamomile note. Light to the point of fragility.

Finish: Honey, lemon and a little ginger.

Comment: Delicacy to the fore. A breakfast dram if there were ever one.

Score: 7.5
