Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Flowery, Lime tea, lemon grass, light peat. Palate Key lime pie. Lemon meringue. Marshmallow. Candied angelica. Shortbread. Finish Icing sugar. Dusty dryness. Comment After a weekend walk in the country? Mid to late afternoon. Who needs tea? Just a slice of fruit pie and a generous dram of Benromach.

Dave Broom Nose Fresh and attractive. Green walnut, oats and then lily/freesia. Cut grass. Palate Light smoke but all ripe, soft and chewy. It’s light but has a good sweet mid-palate with touches of fig and nut. Don’t add water though. Finish Dry with some smoke. Comment Good. Well-balanced. An attractive anytime malt.
