Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Light, dry. Slight burnt grass. Then lemongrass and mint. Palate Lightly syrupy. Herbal, minty, rummy. Finish Hint of cloves. Warming. Soothing. Very long. Comment A pale, shimmery gold dram with flavours one expects from a bigger, darker, whisky. Slightly odd, but enjoyable. Could be a flavoured spirit from a little-known, newly independent republic in Central Asia.

Dave Broom Nose Fragrant and soft with lemon sherbet, crisp apple/apple blossom. Long and soft. Palate Soft with creamy notes. The fragrant spirit and the (apple) wood in superb balance. Attractive and delightful. Finish Dry then syrup sponge pudding. Comment Lifted and aromatic. Who said malt whisky had to be all about smoke and bluster?
