Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Delicately spicy. Fresh. Aniseed. Sandalwood bath oil. Palate Sweet. Biscuity. Pistachios. Sweet lassi. Finish Créme de Menthe. Comment More delicate than I remember.

Dave Broom Nose Mix of nut, bracken and an aroma that's like old slippers: rubber, inner tubes. A seed-like cereal note. Palate More on the body than the nose: burnt toffee, sugary, nutty. The rubbery note reappears. Finish Pink marshmallow. Comment A pretty straightforward malty malt. For completists only.
