Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Slightly dry. Faint suggestion of peat. Perhaps it’s just a grassy note.
Palate
Concentrated sweetness. Fruity. Lemony.
Finish
Spicy. Warming.
Comment
Plenty of flavours, but they need to be better combined and rounded.

Dave Broom

Nose
Sweet with a dry undertow and some depth. Fruity, with orange concentrate, lemon icing/cupcakes and some dry maltiness. In time, a real creaminess.
Palate
Good weight, though slightly slick on the palate. Plenty of fruit balanced by a crisp nuttiness and a strange roasted quality: highly roasted coffee bean/bourbon biscuit.
Finish
Soft and long.
Comment
Of the two Cradle Mountains I have tasted, this is the better.
