Martine Nouet

Nose: Lively. Marine. Morning sea-breeze. Wet rocks. Phenolic. Warm tar. Cough medicine. Burning seaweed.
Palate: Round, mellow. A full bite of sea-shore. Hint of scallop. Smoked mackerel. Salty. Smokiness comes in the back.
Finish: Spicy, lingering, dry on cold ashes. Smoked oysters.
Comment: A balanced expression of peat in this version. A lot of intricate aromas in this dram.

Dave Broom

Nose: Crisp. Hot-smoked salmon, wet seaweed, smoked paprika. New aromas of parma violet, liquorice, wet canvas shoes.
Palate: Soft and clean. The smoke teases you at the front, then erupts in middle and back. What is most noticeable is how the middle has fleshed out.
Finish: Blackberry leaf. Beach bonfire. Smoky.
Comment: Better balance than the cask strength. The peat is at same level, but a greater range of aromatics has been brought out. Complexity emerges.
