Martine Nouet
82- Nose
- Floral. Heather. Lots of herbal notes. Fresh coriander, dill, parsley.
- Palate
- Lovely fresh feel. Soothing sweetness. Fresh pulpy fruit. Peaches, pears. Develops on bakery notes. Oak keeps its grip but without overdoing it.
- Finish
- Long, oaky, spicy.
- Comment
- A bunch of interesting flavours displayed in an elegant oak frame.
Dave Broom
80- Nose
- Clean, rich, dried fruit, stewed rhubarb, raffia. Weighty, concentrated, slightly fungal, deep. Dries a little with water.
- Palate
- Instead of a blast of weight this spreads discreetly across the tongue. Good complexity and fine balance. Plenty of black fruits. Best neat, though water shows how deep the flavours are.
- Finish
- Nutty and slightly astringent.
- Comment
- A good example of a whisky at the start of its mature phase.
