Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Perfumy. Citrus fruit. Tangerine and Séville orange. Flower honey. Oatcakes. Palate Tangy. alcohol dominates. Sherbety. Spices dance on the tongue. Smoother with water. Finish Very spicy, keeps spirity. Comment A nice fresh feel. But alcohol is not tamed. Water cools it down but takes the zesty kick away.

Dave Broom Nose Sweet and luscious, creamy. Some sultana, some toasted malt, pine nut, bread and a charred note. Shows maturity. Palate Surprisingly firm, grippy backbone after such a soft appealing nose. Shows some age along with orange, honey. Soft, long and full. Finish Sweet spices. Comment Very good, but not quite the great balance of the last three.
