Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Earthy, wet moss, turf. Fruity as well. Juicy pears. Cereal notes rise up in a fragrant spiral of honey and ripe hay. Appetising. Palate Malty sweetness teased by a spicy edge. The cereal is dominant. Mueslï. Rich, fulfilled. Finish Long, balanced with a wave of liquorice. A hint of smoked wood. Comment A comforting dram, cheery, brings in visions of a warm summer day in the country.

Dave Broom Nose Robust, autumnal: raked leaves and toasted chestnut. Some dried pear and a syrupy sweetness. Water brings bran flakes then peanut. Palate Soft, slow and slightly creamy. Picks up from mid palate onwards. Silky and deep. Finish Great length. Comment Very well balanced and with immediate appeal, exactly what you want from a vatted malt.
