Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Nose
Fresh sawdust. Butyric. Slightly rancid. Varnish. Vanilla comes through with difficulty. Citrussy touch. Much nicer with water.
Palate
Sweet and round. Peppermint. Wood. A bit watery on mid-palate.
Finish
Short, very dry. Tangy.
Comment
Nothing to cheer up tastebuds. Water saves the nose but does not help palate. A pale image of Ledaig.

Dave Broom

Nose
Seems very young. Tarry rope, sacking. Understated.
Palate
Gentle peatiness covering crisp malt. Decent structure. A sweet start. The peat is light and sits in the centre of the mouth.
Finish
Short.
Comment
The nose doesn’t promise much but the palate delivers well.
