Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Warm, sweet, malty. Then clean, soft, peatiness. Inviting. Palate Quite big and syrupy. Juicy maltiness. Suggestion of soft liquorice. Finish Spicy. Smoothly warming. Comment Simple and straight forward but well composed and enjoyable. A reliable, solid, malt. I always enjoy it.

Dave Broom Nose Initially seems young and slightly agressive. Water brings out some honey, soft fruits, light woodiness, charred sticks. Palate Rounded and quite sweet. Honey and fruit with some menthol. Crisps up as it stays in the mouth. Finish Tingling and peppery. Comment No great complexity, but pleasant.
