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.
