Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Balsa wood. Rooty. Liquorice.

Palate: Very lightly oily. Soft liquorice. Black-and-white humbugs.

Finish: Sherbet. Spicy warmth.

Comment: The flavours of a school sweetshop. I hope that does not get Glen Mhor banned in Boston.

Score: 7.5

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Aslight musty, earthy note, and some sooty smoke, with a sweetness like sugared almond. With water, a hint of wet tweed and smouldering fires.

Palate: Gentle start, then a spicy, almost ginger-beer note pings it into life, then comes fruit, which softens and dies.

Finish: Cigar ash.

Comment: Good energy; the old, slight mustiness on the nose is nowhere to be seen on the palate.

Score: 7.5
