Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Faint hint of peat. Cinnamon. Dusty liquorice. Palate Full flavours. Spicy. Liquorice root. Anis. Finish Cough sweets. Smokiness (again, just a hint). Comment Carries its age effortlessly. Approachable, clean, sweet-tempered. Unlike The Singleton version, no obvious sherry.

Dave Broom Nose Gentle, spicy and attractive. Cereal/bran, nutmeg, allspice, dried lavender, vanilla. Malty. Palate Clean and sweet with water. Still some floral notes (dried). Apple, dry grass. Has a slightly hard, woody, edge towards the finish. Finish Nutty. Long. Comment Delightful nose, palate pretty firm.
