Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Soft. Green. Lightly spicy. Palate Fruity and spicy. Juicy. Sweet lime cordial. Then fresh lime juice. Becoming syrupy. Then peppery. Finish Lively. Spicy. Comment Good balance of the fruity acidity and sweeter juicy notes.

Dave Broom Nose Floral, the barley sugar, stewed apple, dry grass, toasted marshmallow, butter, light spices and balanced oak. Palate Sweet and light, but with a full, soft centre, the floral notes balanced by the oak. Finish Clean and dry. Comment It's held up superbly well and has good weight for such an apparently gentle spirit.
