Dave Broom
91- Nose
- Exotic,suggestive of Japan. Resin,sap and sandalwood. Black banana, dry roasted spices/ white pepper/black cardamom and a hit of pomegranate molasses. Complex and multifaceted.
- Palate
- That mix of brininess,lanolin plus very pure fruits and added exotic spice (nutmeg especially). Then,in the middle of mouth,a peat bomb adding another layer of flavour.
- Finish
- Long,complex.
- Comment
- Powerful yet elegant. A yokozuna of malt whisky.
Martine Nouet
73- Nose
- Cheesy,rancid at start. Like entering a dairy after it has been washed. When aerated,opens on a floral note. Narcisses maybe. Liquorice.
- Palate
- Sweet then abruptly fizzy and tangy. Numbing the tongue. But mouthcoating and delivering pleasant cooked fruit. Water enhances the spicy feel.
- Finish
- Warm,fizzy. Leaves the mouth dry.
- Comment
- A bit too broad shouldered. Does not seem to mellow with water. Some nice sides though.
