Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Edible seaweed. Estery. Fruity. Children’s sweets. Jelly beans. Palate Lightly syrupy. Rose-water, sweet lemons, coconut. Finish Late saltiness. Cedary balancing dryness. Comment Clean, fresh and refreshing. A whisky for the beach?

Dave Broom Nose Soft and mealy with aromas on the orange/lemon side. There’s some chocolate, cereal, dry grass and a sulphury note. Palate Light and soft with sweet vanilla mid-palate. Iced Gems and cake. Finish Gentle. Comment Has more substance than the nose suggests. Subtle.
