Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose More rye character. Palate Bigger, drier, spicier. Still very well rounded. Finish Nutty dryness. Warming. Long. Comment Appetising, Very enjoyable.

Dave Broom Nose Aromatic, assertive and spicy, it smacks you in the nose with its mix of Christmas spice (ginger, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg), bitter orange, but behind is mellow chewy toffee. Delicious! Palate A big mouthful. Gentle and chewy, mixing vanilla, chocolate pepper and spice. Great exchange between spice and mellowness. Finish Chocolate then dry and tingling. Comment Gentle but big and feisty. Neil Young.
