Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Sweet. Crème caramel, hint of brown sugar. Raisins in a vanilla syrup. A touch of raspberry juice. Touch of resin. Palate Crisp and dry, bursting into a gingery spiciness. Finish Spicy and dry, oaky, quite lingering. Comment A well put together dram with a solid oak frame.

Dave Broom Nose Light and understated. In fact, so understated it’s barely there. Oh no! there’s some orange. Palate Slightly more substantial than the nose, with a touch of cocoa, but all very young and dilute. Finish Dies quickly. Comment Clean and light and sweet, but it’s merely another...and lesser...variation on the clean light and sweet theme.
