Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Perfumy, spicy, musky.
Palate
Rounded, slippery-smooth. Very malty indeed. Creamy. Sweet. Some orangey notes.
Finish
Spicy. Minty.
Comment
Very mild, but a blend assembled with great skill and subtlety.

Dave Broom

Nose
Fat, sweet and a little slick. Creamy toffee, sponge cake, stewed apple, date and gingerbread.
Palate
Quite thick and slightly syrupy with a mix of dried and stewed soft fruits.
Finish
Fruity!
Comment
LOTS of sherry and fat, rich flavours. One for those who like their whiskies well covered.
