Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Toasted sesame seeds. Palate Dry, nutty, with a suggestion of lemon grass in the background. Finish Soothing. Comment Subtle aromas and flavours, but beautifully composed.

Dave Broom Nose Creamy and sweet. Loads of vanilla. Some flowers, dandelion and burdock, tinned apricot, baked apple, toasted nut. Delightful. Palate Sweet with tinned fruit syrup. Tongue coating. Whipped cream with chocolate sprinkles. Ripe and sweet offset by crisp oak. Finish Very flowery. Comment One of those 'light' drams which sneaks up and beguiles you.
