Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Tangy, vibrant. Summery. Green wood. Freesia. Palate Sweet. Flowing. A bit sharp. Minty. Dill. Touch of coconut milk. Finish Dry, spicy. Burning. Comment Quite a light character for a Highland malt. Water helps but still a bit rough. Even on a frosty morning!

Dave Broom Nose Suede, with ripe berry fruits. A slightly earthy note. Palate Lifted to start, violet. Slightly fizzy with gentle sweetness. Begins to deepen and broaden in the mouth. Good presence. Sweet and dry (earthy) together. Finish Light white fruits and oak. Comment The fruit goes one way the oak the other.
