Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Nose
Fragrant, inspired. Mango and guava. Beeswax. Toffee. Peppercorn. A whiff of sea-breeze.
Palate
Smooth, mellow. Honeyish. Then sailing off with dainty sea flavours. Cinnamon and coffee fudge. Toasted almond.
Finish
Spicy, long, warming. Walnut stain. An echo of peat smoke.
Comment
Neat, characterful and witty. Keeps the woody tones in the back.

Dave Broom

Nose
Full, mellow and elegant. It starts quite restrained . Tangerine, soft chewy fruitiness with apricot jam. Smoky seaside aromas and a custard creaminess and baked apple/ginger with water. Phew.
Palate
Soft with good silky/waxy mouthfeel. Cooked apple then heathery smoke. Superb balance.
Finish
Heathery.
Comment
Subtle and beautifully balanced. A sophisticated drink which will ease blend drinkers into malts – and vice-versa.
