Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Beeswax. Tropical fruits. Raisins. Sweet, sugary. Palate Creamy but light. Fruity, refreshing. Orangey. Finish Lightly smoky. Slightly bitter. Appetising. Comment Somewhat lacking in complexity. For the drinker who wants an easily drinkable whisky with some maturity.

Dave Broom Nose Round and soft and very creamy. Tangerine, chocolate, toffee, some oak. Palate Rounded. A real wave of chocolate flavours hits you, along with nut, a hint of oak and an earthy powerful undertow. Solid stuff. Finish Might just be a tad short. Comment Fine, pretty classy stuff.
