Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Hay. Grass. Vegetal. Oily. Waxy, perfumy. Palate Firm and smooth. Seems unyielding, then begins to develop surprising complexity, with moments of intense grassy sweetness and herbal dryness. Finish Peppery. Chilis? Stinging. Tenacious. Comment A son of the soil. I would like to pit its spicy flavours against a good haggis.

Dave Broom Nose A dry nose with crisp malt, attractive notes of flowers, fruit (lemon/quince/dried fruit) oil and a hint of smoke. Palate Dry and clean to start, then opens nicely with mid-palate sweetness balancing a firm structure. Finish Soft and gentle. Comment A very attractive, highly drinkable malt.
