Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Polished oak. Palate Malty. Darjeeling tea. Leafy. Tobacco. Finish Liquorice. Cough sweets. Assertive spiciness. Comment A Speysider with a rich chestnut colour, plenty of aroma and lots of flavour. Makes a change from the dumbed-down and the terminally delicate.

Dave Broom Nose Quite deep with oxidised notes. Dark chocolate, prune, black fruits, black cherry, walnut, polished leather, autumn earth. Palate Medium-bodied. Soft start but grips quite early showing real figgy age. Tannins begin to clamp down. Finish Dry, tannic. Comment Fascinating, but the oak is having the greater say.
