Martine Nouet
72- Nose
- Lactic, sour milk and buttermilk. Then a grassy note (camomille and lemon grass).
- Palate
- Sweet but with a sour note. Buttery. Creamy cheese. Quite watery at midpalate. Gets fruity with water.
- Finish
- Soothing, nutty with a hint of spice.
- Comment
- That lactic note overwhelms nose and palate. Not sure that a dairy whiskey is something to look forward to! Surprisingly, a dash of water makes more palatable.
Dave Broom
80- Nose
- Intensely scented. Cut grass, green leaves, dried apple and a touch of peat. Young and oaky.
- Palate
- Lychee and soft fruits. Light almond note and fennel seed then nutmeg and oak. Mashed banana and light smoke. Balanced.
- Finish
- Gentle and smoked.
- Comment
- Proof if it were needed that Cooley is now really up and running. Atypical for an Irish whiskey insofar as it is peated (as Bushmills was ‘til the 70s).
