Tasting Notes

Dave Broom Nose Huge, butter-fat oaky notes. Sweet with caramelised fruit sugars, plum jam. Water brings out a candied peel note. Perfumed and slightly minty. Palate Lots of oak lactone and just enough grip to give structure and interest. Nutty malt and in time a strangely exotic rose petal/angelica flavour. Finish Floral. Comment More of a whisky spread than a drink. For those with a sweet tooth.

Martine Nouet Nose Fruity. Pineapple juice. Spicy. Allspice, cloves. Orange peel. Medicinal like a rum grand arôme. Sandalwood. Very fragrant. Palate Sweet at start then displaying a sensuous spicy palette. Rum again ! Demerara custard. Finish Tangy, spicy. Lingering. Comment Quite enticing and heady but so dressed up, and reminiscent of a rum. The cask has knocked the maltiness down.
