Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Sherry. Christmas cake. Some of the dried fruit has burned in the oven. Palate Malty. Buttery. A slice of Wensleydale cheese. On top of the cake. Finish Slightly woody bitterness. Late saltiness. Comment Very satisfying flavours.

Dave Broom Nose Late autumn. Dry oak, firm and quite earthy with rooty/smouldering peat calf. Tweed. Has good depth and a slightly obscured sweetness. Seems old. Palate A peaty start, then the smoke lifts and allows some honey and fudge in along with old dried peels. Becomes progressively oaky. Finish A bit tannic. Comment Seems like a very old whisky with strange exotic flavours.
