Martine Nouet
77- Nose
- Créosote, straw in a cowshed. Moss, damp fence. Opens up on sweeter notes. Hint of demerara sugar.
- Palate
- Flowing nicely on the tongue. Fresh, appetising. A good mix of sweet maltiness and smoky dryness. Touch of ginger.
- Finish
- Dry. Lingering smoke. Liquorice.
- Comment
- A bit puzzling at start. Seems somewhat austere and restrained. Then releases sweet notes. Is it an effect of the rum finish?
Dave Broom
77- Nose
- Smoky and very fruity. Welly boots and mango. Lanolin and banana split. Water tames the ripe fruits and brings out a briny manzanilla like character. Green olive.
- Palate
- Rooty smoke tongue coating. Water helps this smoothing all the elements out. Fruit salad on an Islay beach.
- Finish
- Has that mellow slightly decayed vegetation note of a good Guyanese rum.
- Comment
- Islay moved to the tropics.
