Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Sand dunes. Gorse in blossom. Clean, fresh, very dry, fudge. Or perhaps Scottish tablet. Palate Creamy, oaty, becoming grainy. Cereal grain. Slightly vegetal flavours. Scotch broth? Finish Some grainy astringency. Comment My guess is that the whisky was initially less rich and malty than the "official" Glen Deveron bottlings. The port finish adds some roundness and interest.

Dave Broom Nose Quite light, delicate and fruit: raspberry is the main note along with very light malty notes. Palate Sweet all the way through from start to finish. Some boiled sweet, marzipan; winey rather than malty. Finish Very light. Rose wine (Tavel). Comment Inoffensive, but what's the point?
