Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 58 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
Buttery with a butyric/lactic edge. Floral (honeysuckle?) Sour fruit. Gooseberry. Sour yogurt.
Palate
Oaky, far too oaky. A cardboardy tinge as well. Not very exciting.
Finish
Dry, with a bitter grip.
Comment
Unrefined wood spoils the aromatic display. It does not leave a clean feel. A rather grumpy character.

Dave Broom

Nose
Hay. A distinct cereal note, old cereal bags, hint of grappa-like twigginess, fennel. Thin.
Palate
Starts very soft and quiet (lemon barley water) then lashes out, snarling. Lemon juice and heat. Would give zest and energy to a blend, but lacks finesse and quality when on its own.
Finish
Hard cereal.
Comment
A volatile, pale-faced wee dram that suddenly turns on you.
