Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 48 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
Intensely fragrant. Fruity and buttery. Stewed plums, custard, white pepper. Vanilla fudge. Mint chocolate. Very dessert-like.
Palate
Mellow, elegant. Fruit and oak interlaced.
Finish
Unexpected dryness with a bitter note.
Comment
The nose is rich and harmonious. The palate not so lavish, somewhat dulled by wood dominating. It would have shown better at a higher strength.

Dave Broom

Nose
Rounded. Dried grasses, coconut, honeydew melon. Tree blossom (lime tree/linden). Slightly lean.
Palate
Touch of smoke, firm structure then a liquorous syrupy quality. Coconut again.
Finish
Sweet then dries into nut.
Comment
Another which picks up well on the palate.
