Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 40 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
Rich, creamy. Milk chocolate. Hay, meadow flowers. Cappucino. Dried banana. Pepper.
Palate
Full-bodied. Waves of flavours. Stewed peaches, coffee, walnuts. Aniseed. With water, toffee and more cream.
Finish
Quite dry, thinner than palate. Nutty. Spicy.
Comment
Virile. Rich display of flavours. If I was to climb up the Fujiyama, I'd take a flask with me.

Dave Broom

Nose
Sweet and soft but with some creamy oak notes. Syrup/honey. Dried orange peel. Light cocoa butter. Violet. Has elegance.
Palate
Mouthfilling and sweet to start. Red fruits, stone fruits, caramel toffee. A procession of flavours. Balanced dry oak. Good weight.
Finish
Good length. Brazil nut. Dry grass. Residual sweetness.
