Tasting notes

Taster Michael Jackson

Nose: Blackberry pie dusted with icing sugar.
Palate: Scented, dryish. A first bite of the fruits.
Finish: The juice, with some acidity and bitterness.
Comment: A very unusual vatting (bourbon, plain charred oak and Rioja) has produced equally strange flavours. Less oaky vanilla and more Rioja than I would have expected. I like its eccentricity, but it loses points for lack of whisky character.

8.0

Taster Dave Broom

Nose: Fragrant and lifted: apple, strawberry, orange blossom, vanilla, chocolate, spice. In time, Irn Bru.
Palate: Starts soft, but is lightly tannic with an acidic edge. Soft fruits, plum skin, chocolate.
Finish: Creamy and fruity, peach apricot, Opal Fruits (aka Starburst).
Comment: Doesn't quite hold together on palate.
