Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Delicately perfumey. Herbal and floral. Dry hay. Orange honey. Grapefruit. Cinnamon. Palate Light bodied. Silky and sweet. Perfectly balanced. Finish Long and whispering on sweet malty notes. Almond milk. Comment A midsummer's night dream dram. So delicate, so rich but without ostentation.

Dave Broom Nose Firm and quite light. Dry grasses, coal dust. Slightly metallic. Malt bins. Palate Clean, sweet and attractive. Fibre (bran, rather than moral), toasted cereal. Attractive. Finish Light. Sweet. Comment Pleasant enough but a little hollow and lacking in complexity.
