Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Malty, chestnut flour, muesli. A leafy note. A lovely bouquet of late summer outdoor fragrances. Touch of crème caramel. Palate Beautifully rounded and silky. The cereal notes mingle with marzipan and vanilla. Rewarding and refreshing. Finish Dry, leafy. Quite short. Comment A lovely dram. Fresh, natural, cheery. The perfect companion for a cheese party. Preferably undiluted.

Ian Wisniewski Nose Linseed, Brazil nut and extra-virgin olive oil overture, spicy oak emerges with a hint of crème caramel peeping through. Palate Laid back and opens slowly to deliver nutty, spicy, dried fruit, chocolate and crème caramel nuances, quite tightly knit, before an oakey garnish joins in. Finish Creamy, fruity maltiness. Comment Team work results in glimpses of different flavours rather than individual close ups.
