Nose
Fresh, herbal. Clover and honey. Creamy. Palate
Light, clean, grassy. A hint of straw. Finish
Flowery dryness, quite drying. Comment
Rounder than a previous Signatory bottling at 1972.
Martine Nouet
Nose
Floral rather than fruity, there is also a deep sweetness on which the malt hangs. Palate
A momentary dryness is washed away with an incredible wave of honeyed sweetness. Finish
The finish is drier, quite toasty and with a late arrival of slightly burnt honeycomb-chocolate. Comment
A typical Perthshire-style honey-ball. Perhaps too sweet for some palates but it holds its age brilliantly.
