Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Creamy, fragrant. White peaches, mirabelles. Vanilla flan. Crushed rush. Aniseed lollipop. Develops on mint toffee notes. Palate Brisk, fizzy. Entices tastebuds in the most active way. Mint toffee again and a major spicy outburst. Finish Dry, spicy, nutty. Comment A wake up call dram for those who like action on the tongue. A classic bourbon maturation which outlines a buoyant character.

Dave Broom Nose There’s nothing here. Watery in colour, watery in aroma. maybe some peanut? Palate Guess what? Light. The only thing to tell you it’s not water is the heat of the alcohol. Finish Huh? Comment At least the name is accurate.
