Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Refreshing, grassy. . Aniseed . Citrus fruit. Stewed bramley apples. Poached in syrup pears. Palate Velvety. Aniseed lozenge. Finish Gingery. A pleasant almondy come back with a bitter chocolate touch. Comment Classic bourbon cask profile. Perfumy like Eau de cologne. Well balanced. Nuttier with water but it takes the freshness off.

Dave Broom Nose Rolled oat and honey. Damp earth, orange pulp, melted fruit and nut chocolate bar, some mango. Palate Quite sweet. Sits in the centre, though fizzles out in the middle with a drying sensation. Finish Chocolate again. Comment The oak tries to kick it into life, but a little lacking in energy.
