Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Minty. Oily. Parma violets.
Palate
Hard bitter chocolate. A praline filled with almond cream. Faintly smoky, suggesting coffee being roasted for espresso.
Finish
Rich black coffee, a quick splash of rum and crisp, stem-ginger, petit-fours.
Comment
Seductive. I found myself using such post-prandial language. Will she respect me in the morning?

Dave Broom

Nose
Hauntingly perfumed. Complex, honeyed and soft: orange blossom, tangerine peel, poached peach, mint, smoky oak.
Palate
Ripe and soft, like orange honey dribbled on top of Greek yoghurt. Caramelised fruits, it gets creamier as it opens.
Finish
Dry and elegant with a little grippy wood.
Comment
Sophisticated stuff with a subtle southern charm. Classic Manhattan material.
