Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Fragrant, salty. The sea begins to emerge. Very fresh. Palate Powerful. Intense clean sweetness. Coconut. Mint. Finish Mint toffee. Hot peppermint. Late saltiness on the front of the tongue. Extraordinarily long. Comment Scores extra points for complexity.

Dave Broom Nose Straw/gold. A good mix of spume, sweet fruit, leather, dried grass and light toffee. Palate A smooth sweet start then a blast of flavour dried herb, salt spray, smoke, moss, toffee apple. Finish Very long, some coconut. Comment A worthy replacement for the previous cask vatting, another complex Campbeltown beauty.
