Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Fresh leather. Oil. Palate Fruity. Honeydew melon. Honey. Finish Grainy. Sunflower seeds. Comment A pleasant whisky for everyday drinking.

Jim Murray Nose Lots of caramel and soft grains. Flat, one dimensional and uninspiring. Palate Caramel-sweet and very soft at first; then hard, bitter grains and vanilla. Finish Dry with an almost apologetic spiciness. Comment Not to be confused with great malt by the same name. Pretty poor stuff.
