Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Nose
A hearty whiff of marine air with phenolic notes in the background. White currant and lemon zest. Tender vanilla echoes.
Palate
Silky. Coating. Oily mouthfeel. Sea lettuce.
Finish
Big, warm, exploding waves of spices. Water disciplines the outburst.
Comment
Hold your glass to your ear and listen to water lapping against the tarred boat hull.

Dave Broom

Nose
Oily/waxy with peach, honey and some subtle smoky bacon/pancetta notes that grow in time.
Palate
Sweet start. As luscious as the nose suggests. Great texture, with the peppery smoke weaving seamlessly around the soft fruits and gingery spices.
Finish
Full. Rounded.
Comment
Superb balance. Shows how classy and complex a vatted malt can be.
