Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Sweet and sugary. Candylike. A floral note. Syrup with a drop of orange blossom. Palate Sweet and oaky. Velvety texture; reminds of a VSOP cognac. Watery in the middle. As if syrup had been added to the spirit. Finish Tangy, bitter, abrupt. Comment Another example of a “worked upon” whisky. Rather dismantled in its sweetness.

Dave Broom Nose This is different, though not in a good way. Solvent, bubblegum and acetone. Palate Better than the nose. Perfumed with a firm structure. A little jangly on the finish. Seems young, green and slightly sappy. In time the solvent reappears. Finish Somewhat abrasive. Comment An explosion at a beauticians. Nail varnish raining down while the bored Saturday assistant chews bubblegum amidst the chaos.
