Martine Nouet
80- Nose
- Buttered toast, peaches poached in syrup, touch of heather root.
- Palate
- Fade-in-fade-out of malty and fruity flavours. Biscuity. Orange zest and nougatine.
- Finish
- Reasonably long, echoing maltiness and almond milk.
- Comment
- Elegantly restrained. An excellent pure malt for socialising.
Dave Broom
77- Nose
- An attractive and approachable, malty nose with coconut, vanilla (melting vanilla ice cream) and citric top notes. Water brings out nutty nougat and some good peachy/banana softness.
- Palate
- Mixes sweet fruits and slightly bitter nuttiness well along with a gentle smoky thread. Well balanced.
- Finish
- Nutty again with a hint of smoke.
- Comment
- Mellow and soft. It doesn't quite deliver the promise of the nose but a fine example.
