Martine Nouet
79- Nose
- Grassy. Farm-like. Straw in a cowshed. Sweet floral notes. Fresh and enticing. With water, kiwi. Earthy peat notes.
- Palate
- Oily, velvety. Sweet lemonade. Vanilla syrup. Distant smoke and a touch of tar. A slight cardboard note, more noticeable with water.
- Finish
- Sweet, almondy. Lots of liquorice too.
- Comment
- The nose is more appealing than the palate. Not much complexity for such an old whisky. Pleasant though.
Dave Broom
79- Nose
- Obviously mature: a lovely, dense, mix of light leather - a cobbler's store - dried apple and sage. Bold yet somehow subtle.
- Palate
- Robust and much earthier than the nose. Next comes a heavy floral note and a hint of smokiness. It builds towards the finish deepening all the time.
- Finish
- Light lavender notes and some smoke.
- Comment
- A fascinating, fluxing dram that hides its power under a charming exterior.
