Martine Nouet
82- Nose
- Beeswax, polished floor, church bench, candle wax. A tar hint in the back. When aerated, opens up on citrussy notes and barley sugar before a wave of vanilla brings in a sweet brine.
- Palate
- Smooth, mellow. Velvety. Oak and citrus fruit are intertwined in an elegant two step dance.
- Finish
- Medium, smooth, hardening up on a more assertive oaky note. Touch of bitter chocolate.
- Comment
- An elegant and satisfying dram. Well educated, in good quality casks for sure.
Dave Broom
85- Nose
- Ripe soft and pillow like with hints of smoke and toasty wood. Citrus leaf, cocoa, cooked apricot, ripe banana, hazelnut giving a crunch.
- Palate
- Toffee sweetness stretches along the palate. Very clean and clear. Sweet with sultana and cherry.
- Finish
- Long and silky.
- Comment
- Relaxed and laid back. This is excellent blending.
