Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Pronouncedly fruity (raisins, cherries?) and winey. Palate The sweetness and smoothness could obtrude at first, enwrapping the delicate dimensions of Glenmorangie, but eventually the two elements blend in sensuous fashion. Finish Soothing, soporific, relaxing. Comment Do you smoke after sex? No I have a port finish.

Doug McIvor Nose Delicate orange blossom at first then soft brine seeping through. Palate Soft gentle, barley sugars with occasional salty and sherbety highlights. Finish Reasonably long, some lingering sweetness and late spice. Comment The best behaved of the trio. Most would expect the portwood to be the big gun.
