Martine Nouet
83- Nose
- Elegant. Delicately nutty and floral. Lightly toasted hazelnuts. Gillyflowers. Gently giving way to well integrated oaky notes. Touch of liquorice and dried fruit. Distant hint of moss.
- Palate
- Smooth, round. Mint and liquorice. Dark fruit. Drying on oak and spices.
- Finish
- Dry, slightly astringent but so elegantly.
- Comment
- A well balanced and rich whisky. Perfect after dinner dram with a piece of dark chocolate.
Rob Allanson
80- Nose
- Treacle toffee, light vanilla, Assam tea. There is a gentle peat note in the distance and sweet oak.
- Palate
- Sweet at first, raspberry jam. Very smooth and easy drinking. Oak is balanced with spices.
- Finish
- Drying and a little sweet.
- Comment
- A good well balanced whisky. Peat is integrated with the oak and spices.
