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.
