Dave Broom
79- Nose
- Sweet baby Jesus what's this?! An extraordinary aromatic nose: Peychaud bitters,spun sugar, rosewater, Oddfellows (cinnamon sweets) and,weirdly,freshly applied varnish. A ready-made cocktail (just add ice).
- Palate
- That alcohol will sear your tastebuds so add some ice.The flavour brings to mind cough medicine (this is not bad thing).Intense is the word.
- Finish
- Spicy.
- Comment
- Wild at heart. Bonkers.
Martine Nouet
80- Nose
- Pungent and sweet at the same time. Rich caramel,cloved orange. Mint toffee. Then a big whiff of cloves comes back. Like in a Jamaican rum.
- Palate
- Sweet at start but the alcohol gives a kick. Though not in an aggressive way. Excellent balance with the nose.Spicy (cloves again,liquorice and aniseed).
- Finish
- Warm but again,a sweet balance.
- Comment
- The dram to taste after a visit to the dentist's. Water soothes the alcohol down and keeps the spicy profile up.
