Dave Broom
75- Nose
- Similar to the 30 Years Old, this time with extra coconut and fragrance (green fig, lemon, marshmallow) then there's cooked pear. Becomes waxy with some pollen.
- Palate
- An ash-like quality then a subtle, fragrant, palate. Aromatic woods, pot pourri. Light and creamy with a lovely texture that lifts into. After Eight mint.
- Finish
- Dries to cereal again.
- Comment
- Old but still fresh. All very discreet. At its best neat.
Martine Nouet
80- Nose
- Floral, perfumy. Cedary with a pleasant earthy note (pine needles). The floral note is swept by fruit (apple juice).
- Palate
- Smooth and velvety. Very fresh and inviting. Liquorice losanges. Hint of toffee.
- Finish
- Biscuity, lingers on liquorice, with a hint of oak.
- Comment
- An appetising dram, more complex than it seems. Still alert though quite matured (quite a comforting thought !)
