Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
That distinct camomile character of Rosebank.
Palate
Some creaminess, but becomes gritty and peppery. A little more flowery when water is added.
Finish
Astringent.
Comment
The aroma promised much, but the palate is curiously drying. Rosebank was never peaty, and this is too young to be woody, so I don't know the origin of that harshness.

Dave Broom

Nose
Very pale. Floral with some apple blossom, pear, lemon butter icing.
Palate
Needs water. When added there's an immediate puff of peat, then a tingling exciting explosion of freesia, apples, orange blossom.
Finish
Dry.
Comment
Only nine? A child prodigy of Mozartian standards.
