Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Peaty and smoky, but with a burnt and cooked character.
Palate
Very dry and quite intensely phenolic. Grassy. Then some sweeter flavours. Baked plantains?
Finish
Warming. Soothing.
Comment
Another smoky whisky is always welcome, but I think I may have tasted this under another name.

Dave Broom

Nose
Oily. Fried mackerel, soot, seems young. Singed rope, lino. Attractive.
Palate
Opal fruits hazelnut and a smokiness which picks up towards the finish.
Finish
Medium length. Lightly smoky.
Comment
Well made, clean and balanced. Worth a punt.
