Martine Nouet
75- Nose
- Discreet. Vanilla syrup. Touch of lemon posset. Delicate and subtle. The high alcohol strength does not show at all.
- Palate
- Velvety. Mouth coating. Cooked fruit. Pears and ginger. The alcohol bites the tongue a little and numbs it. Water is compulsory, it stresses the pear flavours.
- Finish
- Spicy, lingering on the pear notes.
- Comment
- There is a great difference between the nose and the palate. The alcohol is really aggressive on the palate. Better with water but still vibrant.
Rob Allanson
78- Nose
- Like walking into one of those old fashioned sweet shops, sherberts, lemon drops, strawberry laces. Also fresh apples and more citrus.
- Palate
- The velvet glove reveals its punch. Oily, sweetness builds and then there is an explosion of spice. The alcohol is evident here.
- Finish
- A little fresh citrus and spice lingers.
- Comment
- A no nonsense dram despite the alcohol, that said should make a great hot toddy.
