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.
