Martine Nouet
77- Nose
- Malty. Cereals. Dry hay. Vanilla creeps in. Belgian waffle. Roasted pinenuts. Lemon pie.
- Palate
- Sweet and syrupy. Malt extract, honey. Building up into a spicy bouquet.
- Finish
- Dry, spicy. A slight astringency.
- Comment
- A classic malty malt. Good balance, interesting dry spiciness. Well structured, hexagonal like Bach music. For those who don't like the unexpected. I don't mean boring though.
Dave Broom
67- Nose
- Fermenting grass/compost. A thick sweetness, violet and some sulphur. Becomes slightly grubby.
- Palate
- Strangely flat and that mustiness comes through. There's a light fragrant floral quality trying to break free.
- Finish
- Musty.
- Comment
- A real shame. Imperial's rather fine spirit has always been bedevilled by poor casks.
