Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Lemony, oily. Palate Sweet green tea. A hint of mint. Finish Peppery. Comment Pleasant, sociable. With mint tea and Moroccan food?

Dave Broom Nose Fairly dry and slightly smoky to start. There’s a lush fruitiness behind which is brought out with a combination of water and time. Palate Very sweet to start, that overripe tropical fruit/tinned apricots in syrup again. Good energy. Finish A bit short. Comment Quite decadent. A whisky from Lomond stills for fruity types.
