Martine Nouet
30- Nose
- Flowery, peaty. Mix of turf, dried herb and heather, lightly smoked. Briny notes emerge. A delicate intricacy of aromas.
- Palate
- Very smooth and velvety. Malty with an assertive smoky tone soothed by liquorice and coconut. Wood keeps control of peat and smoke. A salty feel.
- Finish
- Dry, liquoriced, with an oaky edge.
- Comment
- More integration but a real earthy presence. Water does not make a drastic change.
Dave Broom
30- Nose
- Richer with scented peat hanging above it all: heather, hint of lavender essential oil, then into cod liver oil, shoreline. Less overtly briny. Well balanced notes of brazil nut, moist tobacco, resin, liqueur chocolate, walnut, dried fruit, Jaffa cake.
- Palate
- Chewy and soft. Peat has a bigger say in centre, chocolate, mint. A slightly soapy note.
- Finish
- Perfumed, slightly cloying.
- Comment
- The peat is fully integrated, beginning to play a supporting role to the oak.
