Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Fresh, lightly fruity (roasted peppers?). A hint of charcoal.
Palate
Creamy. Polenta-like. Sweet, appetising.
Finish
A hint of lemon.
Comment
Someone knows what they are doing. Who would have thought grain whisky could taste so good?

Dave Broom

Nose
Soft and creamy but with good intensity. Ripe, elegant and lush with wild strawberry, Milky Bar (white chocolate) and Butterkist popcorn. Sexy.
Palate
Soft, silky and chewy, with a spicy lift and touch of ripe cherry.
Finish
Fragrant. The chocolate comes back with some mint and cream.
Comment
THIS is innovation at work in whisky.
