Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Nose
Very caramelly. Quite bland. Slightly grainy. Rather shy.
Palate
Sweet, smooth. Quite refreshing. Pleasant mintiness. Citrus fruit.
Finish
Keeps up with fresh minty and citrus notes.
Comment
For once, a whisky that delivers more on the palate than on the nose. It could make a pleasant summer dram.

Dave Broom

Nose
Clean and soft. Pear, tinned peach (syrup) glace/crystallised fruits. In time, sugared almond, damp raffia, bran, oak. Attractive and sweet.
Palate
Soft and gentle with summer fruit, vanilla. Light charred oak frame. Broadens to finish.
Finish
Strawberry.
Comment
A great session whisky.
