Martine Nouet
90- Nose
- Briny.Smoky. Rooty peat.Hint of violet. Tarmac after a summer shower. Seaweed bonfire. Rich and invigorating.Touch of lemon zest.
- Palate
- Firm and sweet. That lovely deep maltiness wrapped in smoke. Dances on the tongue. Tangerine. A light touch of TCP.
- Finish
- Dry,spicy,fizzy.
- Comment
- That dram gives you a briny hug. It warms you without burning. A zesty queen of the Hebrides.
Dominic Roskrow
71- Nose
- Curious Oriental food note (chow mein?) some coconut and tarry smoke.With water it's all change,with cleaner and zingy lime notes.
- Palate
- Savoury olives and artichoke,sweet and woody,with a distinctive peaty and earthy underlay.
- Finish
- Quite long; rustic,with some salt and pepper.
- Comment
- A solid performer but not in the same league as the 1982 25 Years Old.
