Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Nose
Very light but aromatic. New make fragrances. Herbal, floral. Dry hay. Sweet meadow flowers. Wild garlic. Water brings out briny garnish.
Palate
Sweeter than expected. Light-bodied. Sharp and tangy. Malty and herbal flavours. Toasted hazelnuts. Definitely needs water.
Finish
Warm, nutty, dry.
Comment
Nose better than palate. A tired cask?

Dave Broom

Nose
VERY heathery nose along with macadamia nut, biscuit, dry, hot bracken.
Palate
Clean and quite a sweet malty/nutty start. Good feel mid-palate. Very fresh and clean.
Finish
Heather. Biscuity.
Comment
A good, straightforward Jura.
