Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Fruitier and more resiny. Palate Creamier. Suggestions of clove. Menthol. Woody. Finish Green. Like biting on young twigs. Comment One to put in the hip-flask for a walk in the forest.

Dave Broom Nose Clean, fragrant and attractive. Marzipan and light rye notes: sourdough, fennel seed. With water the bready notes dominate. Floury (and flowery). Palate Slightly muted to start then lovely spicy attack. The rye flour re-emerges. Light but well balanced. Finish Clean with a hint of sweetness. Comment Good balance, with zesty rye touches.
