Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Fragrant. Leafy and grassy with meadow flower scents. Mash-tun atmosphere. Palate Aniseed. Rich maltiness reminiscent of hayloft. Nutty and creamy. Finish Quiet and soothing with an appetising liquoriced profile. Comment A satisfying, nourishing, clean malt. But where is the bay?

Dave Broom Nose Very pretty, lifted nose all apple blossom, icing sugar, light honey and reminiscent of those crystallised fruits filled with fruit syrup. Palate Light, (as you’d expect) maybe just a little too light. Some lemon/icing sugar mid-palate but it doesn’t quite carry to the finish. Finish Short. Fades quickly. Comment Drink neat.
