Martine Nouet
80- Nose
- Perfumy. Again vetiver, galangal, sandalwood. Opening on chocolate. Rich, dense, complex. Has hints of fading rose.
- Palate
- Crisp and dry. Immediate oak but integrated with dried fruit. Dates, sultanas. Chocolate toffee. Caramelised apples.
- Finish
- Dry, slightly astringent.
- Comment
- Another bourbon? A bit austere but elegant and complex. I found more pleasure on nosing than tasting.
Rob Allanson
83- Nose
- Heavily perfumed with dark treacle notes, burnt sugars. Some floral notes. A dry almost bitter wood note.
- Palate
- That oaky note comes through but there is a herbal edge as well, almost mint. Those treacle notes and more bittersweet wood notes simply add to the layers.
- Finish
- Dry and herbal.
- Comment
- Different for a bourbon in a good balanced way. One for late night nightcaps.
