Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Oily. Lemon grass. Sweet lemons. Palate Fruity. Lemon curd. Marshmallows. Pastry. Icing sugar. Finish Spiciness and biscuity maltiness provide a balance. Comment I liked the lively 8 Years Old version. Would I be tempted away by something smoother, more mature? I would think about it...maybe.

Dave Broom Nose Quite rich and sherried. Cake mix, dried fruits, tobacco, date and syrup you get in tins of fruit. Light milky note. Palate Big and robust with good malty attack. Fine, sweet mid-palate, but a little bitter on the sides. Finish Burnt orange, bitter. Comment A boisterous, roistering, very quaffable malt.
