Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Mint crème chocolates. Stem ginger. Liqueur chocolates. Palate Caramel, rum, crystallised ginger. Finish Roasted chestnuts, slightly scorched. Comment Full flavours but slightly tired. A Lowlander for Christmas? Well, perhaps for Boxing Day.

Dave Broom Nose Rounded and toasty warm. Light bran, sweet digestive biscuit, choc ice. With water there’s dried grass balanced by soft fleshy fruits. Palate Sweet start then crisp nutty varnished oak in the middle, then apricot juice towards the back. Finish Slightly bitter. Black butter. Comment Eminently drinkable.
