Martine Nouet
75- Nose
- Floral and malty. Ivy. Sweet cereals. Fresh paint. Cedar. Polished floors. A touch of marzipan. Apples in puff pastry. Buttery.
- Palate
- Fresh and minty. Quite chewy. Spices emerge but not excessively so. A splash of water brings out flavours.
- Finish
- Satisfying, warm and spicy.
- Comment
- A pleasant anytime dram. Very refreshing.
Dave Broom
80- Nose
- Lifted. Apple wood, heather, baked soft fruits mixed with cereal, citrus and pear. In time there's notes of freshly-sawn wood, freesia and dried orange peel. Complex but light as well.
- Palate
- Light and fragrant. All the notes on the nose come through. Medium-bodied and gentle.
- Finish
- Dry and clean.
- Comment
- Right back on form. Is some more mature stock being blended in?
