Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Phenolic. Creosote. Wet seaweeds. Tar. Wet dog. Some citrus fruit in the back. Getting smokier on time. Opening on spices and roots. Galanga, nutmeg.

Palate: Oily. Very sweet and smooth. So surprising for a high strength ! 'Pastilles du mineur'

Finish: Smooth, lemony.

Comment: A sweet islander. Can be enjoyed without water.

Score: 8

Taster

Nose: Initially, there's peppermint followed by a little clove. A vibrant attack that's\rtempered by butteriness and smoke.

Palate: Gorgeously balanced smoke and that essential element in peaty whiskies - sweetness. The oil of clove medicinal elements take you to the dentist rather than the hospital.

Finish: Lime and fresh fish - ceviche anyone?

Comment: Young but already with such balance. Recommended stuff.

Score: 8.5
