Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Fragrant. Heathery.
Palate
Very lightly malty. Creamy. Nutty. Interplay of sweetness and dryness.
Finish
A hint of fruity acidity.
Comment
Hadn't tasted the 5 Years Old for a while. Cleaner, drier and less fruity than I remember.

Dave Broom

Nose
Very light. Mucscadet, green grapes, fresh flowers. Hint of immaturity. Nutty.
Palate
Light and grassy floral. With water it becomes insubstantial.
Finish
Simply disappears.
Comment
Made to be drunk long but even so needs to have a little more character.
