Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Drier, pruney, slightly medicinal. Palate Rounded. Tightly interlocked flavours. Finish Milk chocolate. Sweet. By far the biggest finish in this group of Canadian Clubs. Comment That medicinal touch gives this whisky an appetising edge.

Dave Broom Nose Understated and buttery. There’s vanilla slice/custard, soft silky fruits, some nuttiness. Palate That buttery quality continues: mellow and honeyed, like soft toffee cream, then crisps up towards the finish. Finish Spice and harder than you’d initially expect. Comment Rye bite with butter and vanilla coating. Cowboy Junkies.
