Martine Nouet
87- Nose
- Enticing, lively and aerial. Light smoke mingled with summer flowers fragrances.
- Palate
- Velvety, gently spreading on the tongue. Creamy light toffee teased by a hint of smoke. A mouth-watering texture.
- Finish
- Balanced, smoke over dry grassiness.
- Comment
- A warm, clean and charming whisky. The Islay influence is there but gently flirting with a mainland fellow. An accomplished character.
Dave Broom
80- Nose
- Smoky, bacon fat mingling with peach, cocoa powder. Aromatic and almost floral.
- Palate
- Very focused in the front of the mouth giving a really sweet start. Fragrant vetiver grassiness, then butterscotch. Good length. Oily.
- Finish
- Long, creamy.
- Comment
- As much about texture and balance as it is about smoke. Not as monstrous as I recall, but very good.
