Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Floral, estery. Lavender. Lemon sherbet. Melon balls. Liquorice. Chocomint. Quite complex. Creamy porridge. Slightly fiery.

Palate: Tangy mouthfeel. Fiery. Reserved maltiness. Water dampens the fire down but disperses the magical fragrances.

Finish: High on the fire scale. Slowly calms down with sweet almondy notes.

Comment: Promising nose. Palate hard to tame, disappointing.

Score: 7

Dave Broom

Nose: Clean, dry, slightly perfumed malt: toast, wholemeal flour, oolong tea, lemon and a light touch of chocolate.

Palate: Attractive, dry and spicy plus a creamy light toffee note.

Finish: Dry liquorice.

Comment: Lovely.
