Martine Nouet
77- Nose
- Marine and phenolic. Seawashed pebbles. Creosote whiff. Sweet cereals. Crème caramel.
- Palate
- Definitely a mariner. Smoked fish and some oiliness. Tangy spicy feel. Black pepper.
- Finish
- Dry, smoky. Slightly sooty. Hint of tar.
- Comment
- A pungent character. Warm phenolic and uncompromising but hiding a pleasant cereal sweetness. The alcoholic strength is somewhat burning though. Water helps but does not cut all the sharp edges.
Dave Broom
85- Nose
- Packed full of intense, bright aromas: vanilla pod, lemon zest, white chocolate. There's a strange exoticism like Tibetan salt chocolate and a whiff of black olive tapenade. The light smoke adds another touch to the pattern of aromas.
- Palate
- Good breadth of character and intensity with a light smokiness. Water needs to be added.
- Finish
- Tarry rope. Great length.
- Comment
- Another which typifies the Japanese style of light pure whiskies with amazing precision.
