Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Nose
Heavy, buttery. Melting cheese. Quite unidimensional and restrained. Dry cider.
Palate
Sweet with a velvety feel. Oily. Malt teasers. Cereal bowl. Nescafé.
Finish
Tangy, chewed stalk.
Comment
Not a very exciting whisky. Too edgy. Not delivering much on the palate. And lacking finesse. A bland cask?

Dave Broom

Nose
Plain, as if little has passed by way of conversation between cask and spirit. Lime, chalk dust. Little grubby with water.
Palate
Very light even fragile running scared down the middle of the tongue.
Finish
Simply disappears.
Comment
A whisky on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
