Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Fragrant. Light flowery bouquet. Carnation. Gorse. Watermelon. A touch of coconut. Fudge. With water, lots of white fruit (conference pear). Palate Demerara sweetness at start then oak tends to grip. Sour apple compote. Finish Quickly fading. Spicy. A bitter touch. Comment The nose is more elegant than the palate. Water washes that whisky out.

Dave Broom Nose A blurred quality as if aromas are being obscured. Tinned pineapple, orange pulp/jelly. Aggressive oak. More perfumed with some strawberry when water is added. Palate Fruit syrup, mashed banana and oak. Under the wood the spirit is tight and slightly thin. Finish Short. Comment Comes in two distinct and unlinked parts which would knit if longer in cask.
