Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Nose
Spirity, restrained. Herbal and lemony notes. Very tangy. On time, a nutty touch. Fresh crushed almonds.
Palate
Far sweeter than expected. Unexpected earthy notes. Crystallised parma violets. Harsh fizziness. A demerara sweet flavour at mid-palate.
Finish
Dry, tangy.
Comment
The sweetness on the palate can’t tame the alcohol harshness. It has not benefited from the casks as its pale colour confirms.

Dave Broom

Nose
Dry, with a metallic edge: hot tin cans, balloons, play-doh. Water doesn’t improve things. Dry and spiritous.
Palate
Hot! There’s also a strange vegetal note (cabbage/garden compost) and then sugar puffs. It’s better than the nose, but the fermenting grass is a touch off-putting.
Finish
Light.
Comment
Has bags of intensity, but lacks quality, balance and integration.
