Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Floral. Camomile. Honey. Herbal tea. Palate Fruity, morello cherries. Fresh, woody, rooty, liquorice? Finish Spicy dryness. Comment Beautifully full flavoured whisky. Manages to be both elegant and robustly expressive. Very appetising.

Dave Broom Nose A light, malty spirit. Almost frothy with some vanilla, Ovaltine and US oak. Hot without water. Palate Sweet and gentle, but you need water to reduce the edge, then lose character. Finish A bit flat. Comment Needs a bit more in the middle.
