Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Perfumy. Pot-pourri, vetiver. Orange peel. Lemon curd. Gets creamier

Palate: Gently flowing. An aerial mouthfeel. Perfect integration of oak mingling into a luscious creamy pudding-like array of flavours. Honey and lemon. Fresh almonds.

Finish: Light, smooth, with just a hint of dry spice.

Comment: A delicate yet full of character old whisky. Like walking in a flower garden\rat springtime.

Score: 8.3

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Sweet and fresh. Lots of candied peel and the oak shows through with\rvanilla and creamy notes.

Palate: Very soft and mellow. The oak grips gently and is surrounded by a lemon\rzest and sweetness.

Finish: Gentle with spices.

Comment: Still a lot of life in this yet. A great addition to the 12 and 30 Years Old.

Score: 8.5
