Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Perfumy. Very floral. Rose petals.

Palate: Light, cleansing. Long, spicy, flavour development. Very fresh ginger character. Cumin?

Finish: Liquorice. Gin-like. Gin-and-tonic.

Comment: Refreshing start; soothing finish. Quite a trick.

Score: 8.5

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Creamy. Complex. Candle wax, lilac, bitumen, lemons a-plenty, pear, honey, light marine notes, dry seaweed, smoke.

Palate: Oily and smooth with a light waxiness. Eases onto the palate. A concentrated bundle with hints of lemon myrtle. Great balance.

Finish: Smoke leaks out. Dry.

Comment: A complex, subtle malt.

Score: 9
