Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Forestry bouquet. Polished pinefloor. Mushroom quiche. Peppermint. A chalky touch. Palate Mouthcoating. Rich and warm. Stewed apples. Earthy root. Finish Long, minty. Ginger. Comment A hearty fellow, warming and expressive. A hip flask dram for a wet day.

Dave Broom Nose Sweet yet slightly earthy. Hot bracken. New trainers, old cobbler’s shop, peat. More intensity with water, light oak, apricot. Fresh chestnut mushroom. Palate Light smoke uncoiling over syrupy fruit, grass, spent fires. Quite ethereal. Finish Crisp and dry. Comment Good, but needs some oomph.
