Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Toffee. Honey. Then peat
Palate
Lightly smooth. Silky. Somewhat empty.
Finish
Lemon-grass. Lemon sherbet. Quite long.
Comment
Smooth and pleasant.

Dave Broom

Nose
Gold. Richer than the standard with a hint of honey, fair maltiness, hay/biscuit and some oak.
Palate
A silky start with plenty of ripe soft fruit. Light and slightly frotht-like butterscotch Instant Whip.
Finish
Medium length, quite chewy though a little hot.
Comment
A decent enough dram, though not as formidable as the name suggests.
