Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Shy, fruity sweetness. Apple blossom and apple jelly with a creamy toffee touch. Palate Sweet and fruity. Quite refreshing. Apple juice. Candied ginger. Water brings out citrussy aromas and a touch of sawdust. Finish Dry and spicy with an oaky grip. Comment A fruity/spicy profile. Rye whisky shines through. Refreshing on a hot summer day.

Dave Broom Nose Stewed plums, grape must with some butteriness behind. Palate Very scented. Rosewater then the classic Canadian flow of sweet cream and a little nuttiness. Dried fruits dominate. Collapses with water. Finish Splits into spirit and dried fruit. Comment Everything turned up to 11, but that can’t hide its clumsy character. More bolted together than blended.
