Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 23 by Martine Nouet and Dave Broom.

Whisky Magazine is the perfect complement to the dram in your glass. Every issue brings you fascinating articles on the art, science and romance of the 'water of life', plus page after page of tasting notes.

Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Nose
Melon, cucumber. Fresh almond. Develops smokiness and tarred wood.
Palate
Thirst-quenching. Cucumber juice. Smoky after-taste.
Finish
Harmonious and gentle.
Comment
More Islay character on the nose than on the palate. A good appetite-teaser.

Dave Broom

Nose
On the more perfumed/aromatic side of smokiness: herring, heather blossom, baked apple, orange. Quite delicate. With a drop of water there’s biscuits, lemon and some maritime notes.
Palate
Soft with a rounded mid-palate. Good balance: the gingery/heather tingle rounded out by soft fruit.
Finish
Dry, soft.
Comment
A great, light introduction for Islay virgins but best sipped neat.
