Michael Jackson Nose Appetising. Delicate. Lightly malty sweetness blending into slight smokiness. Palate A rush of spring water, then sticky. Juicy. Fruity. Finish Lively. Explosion of spiciness. Hot. Comment Whatever its age, this whisky is full Of youthful vigour.

Dave Broom Nose High oak notes. Starts tight and slightly citric and grassy then into fir and deepens to cooked fruits, plasticene and a heavy floral perfume (iris/lily). Palate Good depth. Sweet fruitiness-apple juice, nutty. Increasingly firm and oaky. Finish Dry, nutty. Comment Shows good complexity, just tipped slightly into the oak camp.
