Martine Nouet
80- Nose
- Citrussy, very aromatic. A distant dry smokiness swirling up. A mineral touch (wet pebble). Then a fruity whiff of ripe peaches and pears. All is wrapped in a delicate honeyed veil.
- Palate
- Rich, silky, enticing. Oily, getting drier on the tongue as spices burst out. Some green gage flavours mingling with spices.
- Finish
- Lemony, drying on ginger.
- Comment
- A charming nose with a less delicate palate but altogether a refreshing dram.
Dave Broom
65- Nose
- Very sweet start with light smoke. Clover honey and woodsmoke. With water becomes dramatically drier and then a rubbery note.
- Palate
- Very sweet when neat then the smoke charges onto your tongue. The diluted palate is better than the nose to start.
- Finish
- Phenolic.
- Comment
- If you are going to drink it do it neat.
