Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 51 by Martine Nouet and Dave Broom.

Whisky Magazine is the perfect complement to the dram in your glass. Every issue brings you fascinating articles on the art, science and romance of the 'water of life', plus page after page of tasting notes.

Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Nose
Tickly. Floral. Bergamot. Earl grey tea. Pear drop. Caramel. Develops on sour fruit (green apple, orange juice). An enticing perfumy display.
Palate
Mellow, but a bit soft and watery on midpalate. Develops on hot spices (Tabasco).
Finish
Dry and hot.
Comment
Has an aromatic profile close to a rye whiskey. Quite charming. Too bad it has been emasculated by an excessive dilution. A handsome eunuch?

Dave Broom

Nose
Clean and quite aromatic: herbs, eucalyptus, green almond, white asparagus behind some sandalwood. High rye.
Palate
Light, fresh and clean. A scented (furniture polish) quality to it. Turkish Delight. Slick and soft.
Finish
Dry. Rye flour.
Comment
Clean and fresh. Mid-morning.
