Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Hugely aromatic. Very distinctive. Resiny. Balsamic vinegar.
Palate
Spiced olive oil. A sweet mustard, then a hot one. White pepper. Cumin. Stinging, lively, with lots of flavour development.
Finish
Salty. Medicinal. Sudden TCP/Listerine.
Comment
Those startling, appetising aromas and flavours had me cooking in a new kitchen. i must have let the Sabatier slip. Why else the TCP?

Dave Broom

Nose
Hugely complex. Big, powerful, rich. Heathery smoke, lanolin. Sweet notes from oak, soft caramelised fruits. Also liquorice, light roasted coffee, serrano ham, candle wax and spent wick.
Palate
Fantastically complex, the notes on the nose plus a mouthfilling mix of sweet, smoky and dry.
Finish
Very long, spices, oil, fragrant smoke.
Comment
Complex. A remarkable malt that thrills but saddens. Here's another light that's gone out.
