Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Very restrained. Flowery, leafy. Dry earth, sand. Sea air. Palate Lightly creamy. Drying. Salt and pepper. Finish Sandy. Cayenne pepper. Passion fruit. Comment A more familiar Islay style, with plenty of pep.

Dave Broom Nose Fresh and lively with light toffee, nutmeg, vanilla ice cream and then melted milk chocolate. With water there's malt and toasted wood. Palate A sweet start with light oak tones and a freshness which clears the head. Chocolate with vanilla. Good balance. Finish Vanilla. Comment A good addition to an impressive range.
