Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Honeydew melon. A hint of garden mint. Milk pudding. Caramel. Cedar. Palate Creamy. Rich. Spicy. Sultanas. Plum cake. Nougat. Some toffeeish chewiness. Finish Slightly burnt. Slightly rooty and woody. Comment The richness of the whisky more than balances the slight woodiness. This is delicious. Glen Moray with maturity-and dimension-than we can usually experience.

Dave Broom Nose Full-on sherried notes: bitter chocolate, hot water bottle, cold tea, fig, smoke, autumn bonfires. Palate Big, thick and mouthcoating. A hint of sulphur. Oily and soft. Finish Thick and long. Some spice and rancid butter on finish. Comment Sherry but(t) no Glen Moray.
