Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Nutty (almonds), cookie-gingery, sweet. Palate Orange blossom. Creamed corn. Toffee. Finish Light, crisp, toasty. Spicy. Rye. Comment In palate, the closer of the two to the Canadian tradition. Wins points for that attribute. I could drink quite a few of these.

Dave Broom Nose Young, with spicy oak, orange peel, a hint of lemon and a whiff of tobacco. Palate Soft, chewy butterscotch with a positive spicy kick from the rye on the back palate. Finish Orange. Comment Young and not quite fully mature but worth watching. Nelly Furtado.
