Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Concentrated sweet fruits. Palate Creamy. Intense berry-fruits. Predominantly blackcurrant. Also suggestions of flowering currant and passion fruit. Finish Light, dry. Comment Knowing that this distillery began with eau-de-vie, I hope I am not being suggestible, but I find the fruitiness of this whisky overwhelming.

Dave Broom Nose Incredibly sweetly fruity: a cross between a fruit eau de vie and a (moscato-based) dessert wine, all jasmine and light citrus. Water softens down the intensity but still loads of boiled sweeties, orange blossom water and some dry malty notes. Palate Drier than the nose suggests. A light ethereal palate with those aromatics all the way. Finish Sweet. Comment A dessert spirit, more muscat than malt.
