Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Earthy. The aroma of the maltings. Toasty. Brown sugar.
Palate
Nutty. Sweet. Cereal grain. Slightly grassy.
Finish
Gently silky dryness.
Comment
Approachable and enjoyable, but a little mild-mannered for me. Bring back the peat…please!

Dave Broom

Nose
Straight-ahead and malty: white pudding, malt bins, turned earth, dried grasses, orange. Mouth watering.
Palate
Light, clean and malty with a soft juicy texture. Orange opal fruits and light spice.
Finish
Clean and fairly short.
Comment
The nicest GG I've tried for a while. Very, very drinkable.
