Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Nose
Floral. Peppery. Prickly. Cider apple. Becomes buttery with toffee notes. Distant echo of creosote.
Palate
Sweet and sour. Pear-drop, pineapple. Varnish. Tangy in the middle.
Finish
Dry and assertive. Concentrates on spices and oak.
Comment
Nose is more attractive than the palate. Lacks elegance and cohesion.

Dave Broom

Nose
Pure and light. Lifted, lightly floral. Lily, broom, fennel, fruit. Hint of nut (hazel/brazil). Pine. Sweetly refined with an extra level of complexity.
Palate
Medium-bodied and lively. Silky, soft fruits. Graceful and smooth with balanced oak.
Finish
Broad. Cedar. Winey.
Comment
Just beginning to pick up complexity. Try this distillery at 12 or 15! World class.
