Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Light and shy to start with. A bit sharp. Lemon zest. Then moves to sweet, delicate fruit. Lemon meringue pie. A whiff of sea-breeze. Palate Grassy, dessert-like with a contrasting note of pleasant sourness. Chewy. Spices burst out quite energetically. Ginger. Finish Long-lasting. Spicy dryness. Comment A bit restrained initially, then unveils a charming vibrant sweetness. Well-balanced.

Dave Broom Nose Light and very fresh, almost a sea breeze nose. With water, a delicious perfume: cut grass, daffodil, green apple. Delicate with a whisper (Wispa?) of chocolate. Palate Delicate with jasmine, tangerine and a lightly liquorous texture. Slightly acidic. Finish Tart and clean. A little short. Comment The freshest malt you could wish for. Perfume and appetising.
