Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Hard toffee. Peanut brittle. Fruitier (cherries?) when water is added. Palate Long development of sweet and nutty flavours. Nougat. Coconut ice. Finish Hard liquorice. Medicinal. Soothing. Comment An elegant and luxurious malt. Glenrothes. This is an elegant and luxurious interpretation of it.

Dave Broom Nose Ripe and deep with dried fruits: sultana, apricot then (with water) burnt wholemeal bread crust. Palate Smoky/sulphur. Burnt but with soft concentrated dried fruit. Like liquid pannetone. Finish A little short. Comment Good, but not as good as the distillery bottlings.
