Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose A similar profile as the previous one. More biscuity maybe. Not very expressive. Palate Sweeter at start, then becoming watery and cheering up on spices at mid palate. Chesnut purée. Becoming tannic. Finish Short, dry, spicy. Comment Oak plays a bigger part there. Spices dry up the demerara sweetness. Nothing much to write home about though.

Dave Broom Nose Here we go again...the same character, this time with more sulphur, fresh fig, dried fruit and chocolate more depth. Palate Oily, similar to the 10 Years Old, slightly thicker. Sweet, caramel, black banana, molasses. Finish Thick. Comment The base spirit seems very sweet. Lacks class.
