Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Linen. Lemon grass. Gorse. Coconut. Fruity.

Palate: Grassy. Spicy. Peppery. Drying on the tongue.

Comment: A distinctive malt, but now slightly past its best.

Score: 7.3

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: On the edgy side of fragrant: sweet apple, green pear, quince. With water becomes more like a freshly peeled apple.

Palate: Another light and fresh dram. Orange Spangles, very lively, light fruits Good balance and real charm.

Finish: Odd fellows (that's the sweet, not the staff of RMW...then again...).

Comment: Not the most complex, but a bloody good drink.

Score: 8
