Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Fruity and malty. Lemon syllabub. Fresh leather. Demerara sugar. Apple pie. A touch of tangerine. Breath of grass. Palate Crisp, firm. But a sweet luscious start. Quite thick on the tongue. Mouthcoating. Pear poached in a vanilla syrup. Finish Long, nutty spicy. Comment Alcohol is perfectly tamed. No burn or tang. A cheery dram for a sunny afternoon.

Dave Broom Nose Sweet. Reminiscent of throat sweets, then nettle cordial and macaroons before the smoke begins to drift out. Light seashore aromas. Palate Burst of phenols to start, then parma violet. Concentrated and lightly perfumed. Hint of lavender. Silky and smooth with excellent length. Finish Ever lasting mixing smoke and vanilla. Comment A blend of lightly peated older laddie and some new heavily peated Port Charlotte it is typical for Islay. . but atypical for Bruichladdich.
