Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Marzipan. Palate Lightly smooth. Sweetish, but well balanced. Almondy. Clean. Finish Rounded. Comment Pleasant. Easy drinking for a pre-bourbon novice. Perhaps a little unfair to judge it in this company.

Dave Broom Nose Fragrant and soft with vanilla/custard notes and spicy wood. Palate Soft. Flows nicely across the palate. Finish A little prickle, but far too mild-mannered to annoy. Comment All very pleasant, but a pretty one-dimensional experience. No-one could be offended by this, but no-one will be excited either.
