Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Restrained but subtle. New leather. A floral delicacy. A touch of orange blossom honey. Palate Thick, sweet. Very oily. Lemon pulp. Not a great range of flavours but a pleasant citrussy profile. A hint of ginger. Finish Nutty. Smoked almonds. Comment A surprising character. A light aromatic profile with a heavy mouthfeel. A touch of water keeps the balance right.

Michael Jackson Nose Light, simply structured. Some cereal notes behind slightly drier fruit. Palate Delicate. Sweet. Slightly chewy cereals. Malty, buttery cookies. Some chocolate. Finish Simple, well structured, perhaps slightly salty? Liquorice toffee. Appetising. Comment Simple, well structured malt.
