Tasting Notes

Dave Broom Nose Clean and lifted. Old orange peel, geranium, custard then sesame and dried mango. Slightly too edgy oak. Palate More impact than you expect. Soft feel, fresh pineapple, cherry, light spice. Finish Clean quite short. Comment There’s a restrained quality about all of these. Amusing lunchtime companions.

Martine Nouet Nose Malty and fruity. Muësli. Lemon drops. Candyfloss. Poached rhubarb. Opens on herbal notes. Verbena, green tea. Palate Silky, gently flowing on the tongue. Lovely fresh feel. Light fruit. Hint of tangerine juice and pineapple juice. And possibly guawa. Finish Delicate but reasonably long. Herbal notes. Comment Another well knitted dram. Obviously under bourbon influence. The exotic hint is “gourmande”.
