Dave Broom
78- Nose
- Very pale - another in this naked/knackered collection of casks. Light talcum powder, slightly skeletal, bleached bones then seaweed and brine.
- Palate
- After a restrained nose it surges on to the tongue with powerful herbal smokiness and genuine salinity. There's sweetness here as well though. Surprising impact.
- Finish
- Chalk dust and smoke.
- Comment
- The smoke saves it - a more active cask would have elevated it.
Martine Nouet
76- Nose
- Iodinic. Wet seaweeds, seashells. Fresh lemon pulp. Young and vibrant. In the back, a pleasant floral note. Hyacinth maybe.
- Palate
- Sweet and fizzy. Very refreshing. Clean, all in one block. Mint and lemon. Smoke with an iodinic touch.
- Finish
- In the same harmony as the palate. Drying out on spices.
- Comment
- A pungent summer dram with character and simplicity. Strangely, water makes it fiery. To try with oysters (just a drop please!).
