Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Light and slightly restrained. Grassy. Minty. Touch of cardboard. Opening on green fruit notes. Palate Smooth and sweet. Very soft, flattening in the middle but nicely refreshing. Peaches in syrup. Finish Lacks length but clean with a pleasant nutty touch. Comment This malt improves with oxygenation. Quite shy, it may appear insignificant at first, which it is not. Just pleasant.

Dave Broom Nose Austere and strange: lemon verbena, some smoke. Assertive, grassy, green tea, birch sap. Palate Lovely perfume. A delicate bone like structure. Grasses again. Flinty on first impressions but with a sweet heart. Finish Dry. teasing. Comment The opposite of its lush companions. A poet on a wobbly bicycle (Norman MacCaig?) I like its perversity. Regional style? Pah!
