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
Sweet maltiness tangled up in oak. Cedary, creamy. Almond toffee, touch of sour apple. A distant smoky hint. With water, more fruitiness.
Palate
Vibrant prickling, with a big burst of smoke and spices. Apricot and almond flan. Hot paprika.
Finish
Warm, dry and spicy. Oak shows up.
Comment
A sharp character, full of life. Needs water to tame the alcohol. For an outdoor invigorating crisp morning walk.

Dave Broom

Nose
Reed bed/wicker chair. Dry and crisp, slightly nutty with plenty of toasty pine-like oakiness. Water brings out smoke and some fragrance.
Palate
A momentary pause and then a huge blast of smoke, this time bonfire-like; drying crab shell, lightly perfumed. Another which starts hard (think of Port Ellen). Intense and quite dry.
Finish
Sweet. Medium length.
Comment
Slightly diminished by quality of its colleagues.
