Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 64 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
Fruity and sweet. Ripe cherry plums, almond milk, acacia honey.
Palate
Smooth and velvety. A caressing feel, quite thick. Good balance. As fruity as on the nose. Plums with a hint of prunes.
Finish
Medium, with a pleasant dry spiciness. Soothes down on an almondy note.
Comment
A perfectly balanced dram. Fruit and spices mingle gently.

Dave Broom

Nose
Light and grassy and slightly stony to start. In time there’s sweet persimmon and nut.
Palate
Pure and very clean. Sweet lime, green fruits then a hint of smoke and a buttery meadow sweet/chamomile note. Light to the point of fragility.
Finish
Honey, lemon and a little ginger.
Comment
Delicacy to the fore. A breakfast dram if there were ever one.
