Martine Nouet
80- Nose
- Sweet and intense with a fruity twinkle. Porridge, fresh hazelnuts. Marshmallow. Rum influence peeps through the creamy fruitiness.
- Palate
- Quite crisp though with a syrupy texture. Less mellow than expected. A spicy explosion at mid palate with a slight bitter edge.
- Finish
- Spicy, slightly dusty. Nutty aftertaste.
- Comment
- A cheery dram, opening up on the sunny side with definite rum colours on the nose. A dash of water sweetens the palate.
Dave Broom
77- Nose
- Sweet. Banana jam, guava juice, floral with a light cereal maltiness. Plenty of vanilla.
- Palate
- Smooth with bags of vanillla soft fruits and a lightly floral touch. Lots of character and good balance between the two elements.
- Finish
- Medium length. Touch of deeper rum notes.
- Comment
- Works pretty well. Rum in a supporting role, putting a different spin on the whisky.
