Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose A waft of clean, crisp peat. Grassiness? Palate Malty sweetnesss. Barley sugar. Shortbread. Quick balancing dryness, with some estery fruitiness and acidity. Gooseberries. Finish Fruity, lively, almost effervescent. Comment ‘Born on’ dates are not a big issue when John Barleycorn must die, yet this whisky seems to have an especially fresh maltiness. A refreshing dram for the sultry suns of summer.

Dave Broom Nose Fresh and clean, mixing green grass, lime, buttery malt/shortbread and bourbon biscuit. Grassier with water. Palate Sweet (honey, apple, orange) and then dries (malt, nuts) Very clean, but slightly rigid in structure. Finish Apple, dried, quite short. Comment A good aperitif whisky. Great drinking.
