Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Spicy. Herbal. Palate Smooth, rounded, malty. Finish Long, flavoursome. Rye. Oak. Comment Pleasant and well-balanced, with a freshness and confidence.

Dave Broom Nose Discreet and slightly shy. Oak tones with creamy weight behind: milk chocolate, butter toffee, vanilla, sultana and rye oil. Palate Understated. Good feel balancing a chewy orange butter/Butterkist popcorn mid-palate with feisty zip. Finish Just a little short. Comment Attractive, lifted, spicy yet soft. K. d. lang.
