Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Lightly fragrant. Skins of dessert apples. Palate Smooth. Syrupy. A touch of vanilla-pod. Spicy (a hint of clove?). Lively. Finish Flowery dryness. Slightly stinging. Comment A dessert malt, perhaps, but for that purpose I prefer sweeter bottlings.

Dave Broom Nose Dry, nutty and airy. Dried banana on muesli, green grassy notes, tea leaves, walnut. Palate Very soft and attractive and flows straight down the middle. Medium sweet with some vanilla and nut. Finish Soft. Comment Attractive and delicate.
