Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Very sweet, syrupy. Hints of burnt sugar. Palate Boiled sweets. Seaside rock. Finish Cry. Grass. Gorse. Comment Overwhelmed by sugary sweetness.

Dave Broom Nose Light gold. Hay, cereal, crisp nuttiness with some young grain and a light whiff of chimney smoke. Palate Starts fairly sweet then dries swiftly. Pretty thin with some peanut brittle and light fruit. Finish Short, nutty and very dry. Comment I'm not convinced about the potential of any whisky named after a cow...(or a cliched term for a Scotsman).
