Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Nose
Nutty and spicy. Dominated but not drowned in sherry. Cherries in chocolate. Dried fruit. Kumquat.
Palate
Sherry leads the way. Candied chestnut. Fudge. Leather.
Finish
Robust. Warm. Spicy.
Comment
A distinguished expression of sweet oloroso, even if it seems a bit ostentatious on the palate. For after-dinner enjoyment.

Dave Broom

Nose
Sweet with toasted nuts, dried fruits and spices. Some light oaky tones and bracken. Water makes it slightly more fragrant: sweet hay, flowers, more spice.
Palate
A sweet yet savoury start. Caramelised fruit and nut. A good, quite chewy mid-palate but all very nicely underplayed.
Finish
Soft, hay-like.
Comment
A cracking Bladnoch. Let’s have more like this.
