Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Fudge. Raisins. Toasted nuts. Soft peatiness.

Palate: Smooth. Juicy oak. Richly nutty. Caramel.

Finish: Peat and woodiness combine in a very bitter departure. Somewhat astringent.

Comment: Holds up very well in the middle but the woodiness at the end is overpowering.

Score: 7.8

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: Big, big sherry. Bursting with grape and cherry.

Palate: Richest, cleanest and naturally sweetest arrival of sherry notes you could ever encounter.

Finish: A dash of fresh malt and honeycomb keeps the vanilla in check.

Comment: Clean, complex and complete. Brilliant.

Score: 9.3
