Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Dryish. Vanilla-pods. Fragrant. Palate Lightly malty character. Some caramel-like flavours. Finish Faint suggestion of peat (or char?). Comment Pleasant enough, but a Breton whisky should surely offer some kind of regional difference?

Dave Broom Nose Light fruits and floral notes. An intriguing mix of citric and savoury: orange bitters and boot polish. Water gives it a lovely spring-like lift: leafy, damp and a light buttery edge. Palate Sweet and medium-bodied, the flavours all concentrated on the middle of the tongue. Dries quite quickly with a hint of charcoal. Strangely attractive. Finish Smooth. Comment Approachable. I like it.
