Tasting notes

Taster Michael Jackson

Nose: Appetisingly piney.
Palate: Slippery smooth. Oily. Fragrant. Sappy.
Finish: Powdery. Spicy.
Comment: A whole range of aromas and flavours that are hard to pin down. Sent me into a reverie: a long weekend in a big house, with kippers for breakfast, toasted brown bread and good marmalade. The house also smells of furniture polish.

8.0

Taster Dave Broom

Nose: Fragrant, blossom-like and lifted, with some grass and oaky notes reminiscent of hot sawdust. After a while there's macaroon bars, lots of vanilla and blossom-like grassiness.
Palate: Oaky to start. A pretty firm structure, but attractive quite delicate spirit.
Finish: Dry.
Comment: Lovely, but the oak is just maybe a little too firm.
