Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Fruits, whole and unpeeled. The aromas of a greengrocer's shop. Grapes. Palate Soft but rounded. Sliced cooking apple. Hazelnuts. Finish Becoming hotter, sharper. Some tannin. A touch of woody dryness. Comment Quite engaging, but just past its best.

Dave Broom Nose Starts with linseed oil/play-dough, then becomes buttery with light marzipan, dried orange peel and some apricot jam. Wood oils, peanut and a tickle of smoke. Pretty. Palate Clean and light. Parma violet. Sweet centre with dry oak and a concentrated mid-palate. Finish Fades a little quickly. Comment A little simple, but again a perfectly pleasant whisky.
