Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Nose
Oaky at start then fruity notes. Pinewood forest. Humus, bracken. Dates and apricots. Marmalade. Biscuity notes. Madeira cake. Toffee.
Palate
Palate: Velvety and round. Sweet fruit. Blancmange. Stem ginger. With water, becomes herbal and malty.
Finish
Medium, nutty with soft spices. Liquorice.
Comment
Quite a rich and complex malt. Needs a long aeration to release it all.

Dave Broom

Nose
Like eating a sultana cake next to a peat fire. Becomes medicinal, Savlon. Has a certain buttery sweetness.
Palate
Soft with dried fruits and a mix of nut and peat. Rounded and soft. The peat seems suppressed.
Finish
Dried fruit. Ash.
Comment
The finish swamps the whisky a little.
