Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Sweet, spicy. Lemon cake. Palate Rich, sweet, creamy, fudgy. Fruity. Lemon tea. Jasmine. Finish Appetising development of soft smokiness. Comment Bigger in body than flavour, but with some complexity and an excellent balance.

Dave Broom Nose Clean and soft with vanilla, orange and very light smoke. Palate Young and fresh, but balancing mellow grain with ripe and fruity malt. Some heathery notes. Finish Medium. Soft. Comment Attractive, well-balanced and harmonious. Good session blend.
