Martine Nouet
25- Nose
- Floral and peaty. Wet earth. Cold fireplace. Opening on briny notes, fishing net. Smoke is rather distant.
- Palate
- Smooth, sweet. Peat is not discernable at first. Then a light smoky flavour.
- Finish
- Medium, drying on lime peel. A hint of dry ashes.
- Comment
- Peat is integrated in oak though wood is not overwhelming. Water changes the rules, bringing peat and smoke forward.
Dave Broom
25- Nose
- Plenty of American oak showing lots of vanilla, quite toasty. Smoke a subtle presence, fresh seashells, woodsmoke, seashores. Light cigar smoke/cedar wood, malty. Clean.
- Palate
- Rounded feel with a light maltiness, smoke to the back palate, seaweed, turfy.
- Finish
- Fragrant peat.
- Comment
- The smoke and oak now working together, everything shaken loose of the oaky cereal shell.
