Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Intense, beautifully combined wood and fruit. Juicy apricot. Cedar. Beeswax, polished floors. Vanilla. Delicate gingerbread. A touch of peat. Palate Caressing, enveloping, oily. So well in tune with the nose. Fudgey. Nutmeg. Cinnamon. Finish Warm, lingering spiciness. Comment Well-matured, amazing for its age.

Dave Broom Nose Austere, quite haughty. A wild grassy note with fresh tobacco/unlit cigar. With water there’s vanilla, coconut, as well as Rich Tea biscuit. Rich but clean. Palate Very pure. Green tea. Good weight on the palate but held in check by a pretty firm structure. Finish Long, drying. Comment Like a maiden aunt. It’s hard to believe that after 31 years in cask it’s still this strength!
