Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Fresh, fragrant. Light peatiness. Late hint of sweet seaweediness. Palate Complex. Lots of flavour development. Light oily hint of seaweed, passion fruit. Lively interplay of sweetness and saltiness. Finish Sweet mustard. Comment Savoury. Summery. A picnic malt. Or eating freshly shucked oysters with Jim McEwan.

Dave Broom Nose Almost rum-like: light spirit allied with tropical fruit/melon/zesty notes. Opal fruits and lilac. In time a hint of crystallised ginger. Fades relatively quickly. Palate Plenty of (balanced) oaky notes. Quite a thick feel with fresh fruit all the way. Finish Just a touch metallic. Comment A very pretty whisky.
