Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Perfumy, fruity. Like being in a sun-exposed orchard on a scorcher. Ripe juicy peaches. Apricot blossom. A touch of minty freshener. Appetising. Palate Mellow and round at start. Oily feel. Sweet maltiness, followed by a burst of spicy flavours. Finish Lingering and spicy. Beautifully dovetailing. Comment A superb fruity expression, with a summery aromatic profile. Water makes it even more sensuous. Definitely morish.

Dave Broom Nose Buttery, intense and lightly oily, then a blast of exotic herbs and spices (fresh fenugreek, pepper tree leaves). Then comes porcini mushroom, passionfruit, syrup, caramel and vanilla. Palate Great balance here between cask and spirit. Peachy, then a light grip, sweet fruits. Finish Crushed black fruits. Comment Multilayered with hidden depths and subtle sweetness. A marvellous addition to a fascinating and groundbreaking, innovative range.
