Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
A rich, moist Dundee cake. Toasted nuts. Salty. Sea breezes.
Palate
Malted milk. Chocolate. Nonetheless avoids being cloying. Deftly balanced.
Finish
Dark cocoa powder.
Comment
A brilliantly sunny winter's day; a walk by the sea in late afternoon; a dram at dusk. Still Bunnahabhain, but so different.

Martine Nouet

Nose
Rich, delicate. Bouquet of granny's wardrobe. Gingerbread, orange peel. Dried roses. Prunes. exotic wood. Old furniture.
Palate
Creamy, sweet. Wood apparent with liquorice and eucalyptus notes. Hint of resin.
Finish
Nice orangey aftertaste. Slight bitterness in final notes. Shorter than the nose suggests.
Comment
A truly distinguished acquaintance.
