Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Peachy, fruity. Coconut oil. Slight cereal grain oiliness.
Palate
Light but creamy. Grassy, sweet graininess, maltiness. Flapjack.
Finish
Powerful and soothing. Spiciness and smokiness.
Comment
More robust and less finessed than I remember.

Dave Broom

Nose
Resin. Spearmint/toothpaste to start then more cake like as it opens, fig rolls. Soft and juicy.
Palate
Soft texture with sweet nuttiness then a soapy flavour begins to dominate.
Finish
Soapy. Off-putting.
Comment
I tried two samples and five glasses. The soap was still there.
