Tasting notes

Taster Jim Murray

Nose: Banana and bourbon, sweet and clean. A slight smoky, peppery note.
Palate: Intensely sweet with rich demerara sugar and spicy malt.

Taster Michael Jackson

Nose: Honey and honeydew melon; glacé cherries, waxy; lipstick.
Palate: Remarkably fudgy. Treacle toffee.
Finish: Very gingery. Sweet, leafy bonfires smokiness.
Comment: Pale in colour but by no means anaemic in flavour. Has matured a lot since it was 15.
