Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Beeswax, polished floor. Greengage. A touch of lemon balm. Palate Full and richly flavoured. Discloses more cereal than on the nose. Finish Hot and spicy (ginger). Comment Wood has the word in the finish. An assertive Speysider to enjoy after dinner.

Dave Broom Nose Slightly hard and biscuity. Some bran flakes, a little smoke. Water makes it more fragrant. Not hugely complex. Palate Dry start. Shuts up shop quickly on the palate. Malt, some spice but it’s all straight down the middle. Finish Some cream and spices again. Comment Inoffensive but not hugely exciting.
