Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Restrained. Fruity. Strawberries. Palate Custard. Crème anglais. Vanilla. Cream toffee. Finish Light. Dusty. Cinnamon. Balancing dryness. Comment Shy. Diffident. But with its own delicacy.

Dave Broom Nose Toasted, caramelised. Black banana, spices. Rich, soft and liquorous. Candied fruits and a hint of fresh mushroom. Delicious. Palate Good balance between sweet, spicy and bitter (cherry) notes. Menthol/basil/anise. Finish Banana chips. Cocoa. Comment Go easy on the bitters when making an old fashioned. A good solid package.
