Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 27 by Martine Nouet and Dave Broom.

Whisky Magazine is the perfect complement to the dram in your glass. Every issue brings you fascinating articles on the art, science and romance of the 'water of life', plus page after page of tasting notes.

Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Nose
Intense. Freshly sawn oak. Hint of resin. Malty notes hardly break through. Touch of fruit, syrupy peaches. Becomes soapy with water added.
Palate
Smooth and gentle. Maybe a bit too much. Could be more energetic with a higher alcohol content. Fruitier and nuttier than the nose.
Finish
Soft and pleasant almondy flavours with a touch of dryness.
Comment
Too mild to hold its own against the wood.

Dave Broom

Nose
Light and nutty/malty with some green pear, straw, dry spices. Estery and crisp.
Palate
Equally light and nutty with a touch of milk chocolate in the mid-palate. Soft, easy and ultra-clean.
Finish
Crisp, short and dry.
Comment
Simple, attractive and easy-drinking.
