Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Rich, sweet, creamy. Clean maltiness.
Palate
Firm, smooth, almost slippery. Creamy, fruity (Cherries? Peaches?).
Finish
Big, firm, Fruity, peppery.
Comment
Do you have a sweet tooth? Verges on the liqueur-ish.

Dave Broom

Nose
A lifted spicy nose without water, dipping into lemon sherbet, lime and mandarin with some chocolate, smoky wood and cold tea as well.
Palate
Seriously chewy stuff with a layer of almost minty toffee running through it.
Finish
Long and rich with dry coconut and spice.
Comment
An absolute cracker. Taste a whisky as good as this and you'll be instantly converted to blends.
