Martine Nouet
75- Nose
- Buttery. Nutty. Pine nuts. Vanilla. Aniseed. Hint of coconut milk.
- Palate
- Smooth. Grassy. Green apples. Kiwi. Star anise. A certain weakness at mid-palate. Fresh feel all the way through.
- Finish
- Grassy, slightly astringent.
- Comment
- The bourbon cask influence is obvious. A refreshing dram but simplistic. Water ruins it.
Dave Broom
82- Nose
- Light and fragrant. Perfume-like. Hyacinth. American cream soda, apple pie. Balanced, vanilla, oakiness. Some weight and complexity.
- Palate
- Sweet and direct with an unctuous feel. Apples, raspberry shifting into papaya and, with water, peanut oil. Blossom-like.
- Finish
- Fresh, clean and zesty.
- Comment
- Seems delicate but has real presence.
