Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Powerful. Sliced blood oranges in Maraschino liqueur. Palate Fruity. Cherryish. Sappy. Falls away somewhat. Finish Late resurgence of fruity flavours. Cream soda. Comment After that sensuous aroma, the palate is subtle to the point of reticence. Still interesting.

Dave Broom Nose Fat and unctuous with some resinous notes moving into Worcester sauce. Light smoke, Iced Gems, cedar, fig, stewed tea, caramelised fruits. Palate Very slow and soft showing real maturity. Fungal. Structure and grip. Good age, with a nutty oaky start which grows and opens beautifully. Finish Fades into chocolate, dust and velvet. Comment An excellent mature spirit.
