Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Hazelnuts. White pepper. An echo of fresh paint. Light fruit then fudge. Orange chocolate. Palate Tangy. Gingery. Quiet one-dimensional. Almond cake. Finish Spicy, slowly fading on creamy toffee. Comment More complexity on the nose than on the palate. A pleasant whisky though. But quite disappointing for a Strathisla of that age.

Dave Broom Nose Fragrant. Grass, bracken and lemon peel. In time mead-like, spiced apple cider, coconut. Deep but perfumed. Palate Sweet start, mixing syrup, spices, apple, glacé cherry and sweet grasses. Well-balanced. Finish Slightly bitter nuttiness. Comment Highly attractive. Worth having a look at.
