Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Fresh limes. Vegetal. Sea air. Palate Medium. Firm. Sweet start. Truffle oil. Whole-grain mustard. Salt. Finish Stingingly appetising. Long. Comment Exuberant interplay of sweet and dry flavours, pivoted on a firm malt background.

Dave Broom Nose Complex. Vanilla, poached pear, wax, peat, seaweed, Danish oil and a whiff of the cowshed. Palate Rich and complex, this unfolds slowly and has richness, balance, texture, sweet waxy fruits and a lift of smoke. Some package. Finish Cigar ash. Comment OK, so who is going to stump up the cash to get Brora up and running again?
