Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Floral, estery. Lavender. Lemon sherbet. Melon balls. Liquorice. Chocomint. Quite complex. Creamy porridge. Slightly fiery. Palate Tangy mouthfeel. Fiery. Reserved maltiness. Water dampens the fire down but disperses the magical fragrances. Finish High on the fire scale. Slowly calms down with sweet almondy notes. Comment Promising nose. Palate hard to tame, disappointing.

Dave Broom Nose Clean, dry, slightly perfumed malt: toast, wholemeal flour, oolong tea, lemon and a light touch of chocolate. Palate Attractive, dry and spicy plus a creamy light toffee note. Finish Dry liquorice. Comment Lovely.
