Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Light, fresh but sweet, appetising, fruity, pear-like.

Palate: Dryish, pear-like, more fruitiness as flavour develops. A dash of water releases a hint of smokiness and some sweet, malty notes.

Finish: Restrained, aromatic.

Comment: Lean, smooth and appetising.

Score: 7.5

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: Youthful and slightly fat. Quite underripe.

Palate: Fat and full, lots of malt concentrate. Initially sweet then some drier banana notes . Refreshing.

Finish: Some oaky notes.

Comment: Rather simple, but very enjoyable - except for the slightly duff nose.
