Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Spirity. Jumps right up your nostrils. After a wee while, develops on sweeter notes. Lemon drops, barley sugar, vanilla syrup. Palate Tangy, fizzy in a refreshing way. Yeasty. Tastes like a dry pear cider. Tickles the tongue. Finish Dry, slightly burning. Touch of ginger. Bitter apple skin. Comment Unusual. Very tickly but water tames it and brings a fresh fruity flavours out.

Dave Broom Nose Light and fragrant, daffodil, slightly sappy, perfumed lemon (slightly artificial). Water exposes a hard edge, grappa-like. Palate Very sweet and sugary to start. High alcohol. Floral notes. Apple purée. Spices. Finish Barley sugar. Comment This needs more time in cask. Well distilled though.
