Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Juicy and rather pretty. Orange, lime, malt. Becomes fruitier in time: pear juice/fresh pineapple. Quite tense.

Palate: Hint of mustiness but good weight. Fruit syrup. Seems to dry and tighten from mid-palate back.

Finish: Dry, grassy.

Comment: More about feel than flavour. Seems pent up.

Score: 7.3

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Delicately flavoured peat. Even more delicate sweet malt background.

Palate: Austere. Cereal grain. Dry. Passion fruit. Bittersweet.

Finish: Glowing. Long.

Comment: I loved the aroma. After that the stern, impenetrable palate was frustrating but in keeping with the mood. A good, old-fashioned Speysider.

Score: 8.5
