Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Light and quite attractive, with a touch of smoke. Toasty (wholemeal bread) caramel, barley sugar, American cream soda.

Palate: A strange smoky perfume like burning orange tea. Light and gentle, but thin.

Finish: Sweet.

Comment: More weight is needed in the spirit.

Score: 6.8

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Light smoke, as though from a nearby lone chimney. Just a hint on the breeze.

Palate: Creamy. Custard. Marshmallow. Toasted coconut.

Finish: Toasty.

Comment: The peat is so light that it is barely perceptible in the nose and palate, but it's dryness creates a contrast that lifts the sweeter notes.

Score: 7.3
