Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Herbal notes, becoming sweeter. Heather honey.
Palate
Blossoms first, then fruit. Apricot, orange, raspberry, strawberry.
Finish
Long and lingering, with echoes of all those flowers and fruits.
Comment
One of the most assertive, flavoursome examples of Speyburn I have tasted. A pretty whisky from a pretty distillery.

Dave Broom

Nose
Clean and attractive with a light sweetness undiluted. Water brings out a deeper earthy/grassy note and a hint of violet.
Palate
Clean and again quite sweet. Heather. Gentle but with a subtle weight.
Finish
Medium weight. Sultana cake, orange. Juicy.
Comment
Sweet and gentle.
