Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Slightly vegetal. Olives?
Palate
Syrupy but very light. Becoming dry. Peaty, smoky, bitterness.
Finish
Late explosion of spiciness. Lemon grass. Ginger. Cinnamon.
Comment
Not much middle palate. Lacks roundness.

Dave Broom

Nose
Lightly malty/dusty. Dried grasses, yew. Becomes perfumed with water: floral (hyacinth, almost frangipani).
Palate
Soft and clean. Blossom-like. Gentle grip. Very clean and quite light.
Finish
Medium length, a soft fade.

Attractive, versatile.
