Martine Nouet
77- Nose
- A bit spirity. Sea-washed dune grass. Hint of camphor. Phenolic whisper.
- Palate
- Burning, stout. Slowly releases fruity sweetness. Melon, strawberry, vanilla ice cream.
- Finish
- Dry again with an afterglow of kiln embers.
- Comment
- Quite sharp at the beginning then gradually softening. Fruitier than previous Signatory bottlings. Very sensitive to dilution.
Dave Broom
77- Nose
- Good mix of fragrant orange/tangerine notes, malt and smoky bacon along with real end-of-the-pier stuff. A lightly medicinal note but plenty of soft fruit and a floral lift (parma violet?).
- Palate
- Scented smoke, heather blossom, soft pulpy fruits in the middle.
- Finish
- Sweet smoky malt, then dries.
- Comment
- Another Caol Ila? I like the softer, more succulent expression.
