Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Aromatic. Restrained peat smoke. Palate Peaty, grassy, potpourri. Bath Olivers. Finish Dry, intense. Slightly bitter. Woody. Comment Good structure, but spoiled by bitterness and woodiness.

Dave Broom Nose Blossom (cherry/apple). Lightly spicy and young. Pine. With water Roquefort cheese (!) and nut oil. Palate Sweet and sugared light and lemony. The cheese is still there. Finish Clean fresh and short. Comment A charming dram from a still which usually is pretty bland.
