Tasting notes

Taster Michael Jackson

Nose: Very distinctively nutty, with a touch of sherry.
Palate: Nutty maltiness. Unusually textured. Nougat-like. A hint of cherries. Beautifully balanced.
Finish: Long. Gentle but firm. Subtle spiciness. Nutmeg? Cinnamon?
Comment: Sophisticated but very approachable.

8.3

Taster Dave Broom

Nose: Quite light, slightly immature nose. There's (green) melon balls, ginger, a hint of cream, sultana and sherry.
Palate: The fruit cake/sherry begins to emerge but it's a bit thin and simple.
Finish: Slightly bitter.
Comment: Lacks integration with the wood. Like some middle-weight malts, it needs time to reach full maturity.
