Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Sweet, poached pear with a nutty malt at back. Coconut and vanilla. In time sage perfume which with water becomes more oily and lavender like.

Palate: Very perfumed. Has become essence like. The overt lavender is calmed with water, making it sweet and lightly smoky once more.

Finish: Smoke.

Comment: A good spirit dented by that essential oil quality.

Score: 7.3

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Sooty. Treacle toffee.

Palate: Peaty, earthy, cedary. Charcoal.

Finish: Robust. Sharp. Hot.

Comment: Some of the classic Islay elements are there, but discordant. Not well rounded.

Score: 7.5
