Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Scenty.
Palate
Starts clean and refreshing. Slowly develops marshmallow maltiness, becoming nutty and sweet, with a touch of roasted nuts.
Finish
Sugared almonds.
Comment
Enjoyable. More-ish. Perfect for lacunae in a busy schedule. Those leather sofa moments in hotel lobbies. Sip it while munching cocktail snacks.

Dave Broom

Nose
Supple. Vanilla and lemon with sweet barley sugar/honeycomb. A touch of green plum and in time a nutty, wheaty, cereal. Lawnmower box.
Palate
Light syrupy feel with toasty coconut, some citrus, butterscotch and chocolate-coated Brazil.
Finish
Quite short fresh.
Comment
Decent balance. A light session dram.
