Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 56 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
A bit restrained. Fruit and oak are well integrated. Watermelon. White peach. A touch of rose syrup. Opens on sweet syrupy notes. Tangerine juice. Polished floor.
Palate
Light and silky. Fruit basket. Malty sweetness at midpalate the drying out on a oaky touch.
Finish
Dry and nutty.
Comment
A pleasant summery dram. Keeps fruity all the way.

Dave Broom

Nose
Crisp and floral with cedar and wood ash/dead BBQ. Once again an almost wheat-like dusty sweetness. Slightly unripe (green banana, floral) and immature.
Palate
A very bright start, crisp, clean and gingery/japaleno. Then becomes a little too sweet: flat Irn-Bru and bubblegum.
Finish
Rather short. Dilute.
Comment
All front loaded, but doesn’t deliver all the way through.
