Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Fruity. Citrussy. Olde English Marmalade. Apples steeped in caramel. Star fruit. Palate Silky. Slowly opening on pastry flavours. Watermelon. Almond cake. Beautiful mouthfeel. Finish Long, spicy. Ginger and chilli. A soothing almond milk aftertaste. Comment A well-balanced dram. Nothing lacking, nothing too much. Just pleasant.

Dave Broom Nose Malty, cereal, lightly honeyed. Light with toasted almond, nougat, wholemeal bread, light earth, cut grass. Palate Round but firm, a surge of initial maltiness softens into green pear, green walnut, mandarin. Finish Dry and clean. Comment Another good session dram.
