Tasting Notes

Dave Broom Nose Clootie dumpling [suet, masses of dried peels, allspice]. Little woody with water which also brings out bracken, malt. Palate Date loaf, light oiliness, bere meal, oaky. Slightly flat. Finish Sweet fruits. Comment There’s lots of elements at play here. They’re just not playing together.

Martine Nouet Nose Intense. Malty and grassy. Dried grass. With an animal touch. Sheepskin maybe. Then shifting to bakery aromas. Almond and pear tart. Palate Gently flowing. Rich, oily. Sweet luscious bakery flavours. Finish Fruity (summer fruit). Comment A very appetising dram. More complex than it seems. Needs time to reveal all its richness.
