Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Nose
Floral and nutty. Freesia. Fresh crushed almonds. Beewax. Touch of damp earth. Pear drop. Ripe banana.
Palate
Velvety, coating. Pleasant fruity profile. William pears. Mashed banana with a touch of demerara sugar. Sweet liquorice.
Finish
Medium length. Clean, fruity.
Comment
An open and conversational whisky. Does not boast complexity but has a vibrant fruity aromatic profile. Tastes stronger than 43%.

Dave Broom

Nose
Citric, with touches of flowers (freesia, lilac, apple blossom) and light esters: pineapple. Some softer fruits as well. Very clean.
Palate
Better than the nose with real mid palate sweetness. Very spicy: nutmeg, long pepper, alongside some light lemon sherbert. In time it gets slightly richer: coconut and brown sugar.
Finish
Medium length. Soft fruits.
Comment
A session whisky which is better on the palate than the nose.
