Martine Nouet
70- Nose
- Oaky, sappy. An unpleasant cheesy aroma. Opens on nicer toffeeish notes.
- Palate
- Mellow. Sweet maltiness. But bitterness soon becomes insistent. Hot spices.
- Finish
- Warm. Dry, slightly astringent.
- Comment
- Lacks elegance and complexity. Oak dominates, with a bitter grip. Water does not help.
Dave Broom
82- Nose
- A little faded with touches of autumn leaves, bung cloth, unripe mango, (bread crust on a Scottish plain loaf). Alcohol in balance. With water there's more overt oak and a hint of condensed milk.
- Palate
- Dense and full but a balance struck between sweet and sour flavours: grape syrup, sugared almond, red apple. Smooth with good grip.
- Finish
- Spice, chestnut, overripe pear.
- Comment
- Greater depth and apparent maturity than you'd expect from a 12 Years Old.
