Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Intense and sharp. Slightly spirity. Leafy. Fern. Cherry trifle. White pepper. Palate Enveloping and warm. Velvety. Cream fudge. A lot of spices. Nutmeg, cinnamon, pepper. Finish Long-lasting. Warm. Gently vanishing with almonds and nuts. Comment Quite a muscular Speysider. The perfect dram to buck you up after a woodland walk mushroom-picking on a cold November day.

Dave Broom Nose Cereal with some nutty/toffee notes and baked fruits. Water kills it. Palate Light-to middle-weight, and though it has quite a ‘thick’ feel it lacks any complexity. Immature? Finish Heathery. Comment A bit disappointing.
