Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Lemon grass. Garden mint. Ground almonds. Palate Firm. Starts dry but some peppery sweetness develops. Fuller flavour than its sister, Greenore. Finish Slightly sticky. Fruity. Hot. Comment For a grain whiskey, it has plenty of flavours, but they do not hang together very well.

Dave Broom Nose Damp grass and wood. It is nutty with a slight musty edge. Palate Sweet and quite thick to start, but seems a little unbalanced. Finish Short. Comment Easy going.
