Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Dryish fresh oak. Ferns. Forest flowers.

Palate: Firm, toffee, coconut.

Finish: Dry, spicy. Vanilla pod. Hint of char.

Comment: Lots happening. Lively. Enjoyable.

Score: 7.8

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Peaty (smoked fish) but with some perfume (lemon, potpourri, dried heather) and softness (nut oil).

Palate: Rounded and sweet. Very sweet in fact: like cinnamon toast with demerara sugar, but there’s smoke as well – and it’s in balance.

Finish: Medicinal. Smoked fish again.

Comment: A fascinating package with unlikely flavour combinations. Barmen will love this.

Score: 8
