Tasting notes

Taster Michael Jackson

Nose: Fragrant. Heathery.
Palate: Very lightly malty. Creamy. Nutty. Interplay of sweetness and dryness.
Finish: A hint of fruity acidity.
Comment: Hadn't tasted the 5 Years Old for a while. Cleaner, drier and less fruity than I remember.

7.0

Taster Dave Broom

Nose: Very light. Mucscadet, green grapes, fresh flowers. Hint of immaturity. Nutty.
Palate: Light and grassy floral. With water it becomes insubstantial.
Finish: Simply disappears.
Comment: Made to be drunk long but even so needs to have a little more character.
