Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Lemon grass. Lemon rind. Palate Very light, but firm and dry. Sherbety. Lemony. Peppery. Some pepperminty sweetness. Finish Papery. Sticky. Fruity. Hot. Comment Flavoursome for a grain, but neither especially clean nor well rounded.

Doug McIvor Nose Gentle oaky herby floral traits, hints of caramel, raisins and reminiscent of plastic paddling pools. Palate Delicate, sweet to dry peppery swing. Sweet and sour grain. Finish Dryish, the grain teases against some salty extremes. Comment Charming but unemphatic. The nose promises more than delivers.
