Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Seville orange peel. A hint of tamarind (suggested by the colour?). Pronounced cloves. Cough sweets. Slight phenol.

Palate: The aroma is carried through in the palate. Very fruity and spicy. Attenuated maltiness. Firm.

Finish: Drying. Strong sandalwood or cedar flavours.

Comment:

Score: 7.8

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: A heavyweight that wallows in its oaky resonance and malty sweetness. Really pleasing.

Palate: Awesome display of toffee apple, chocolate fudge and demerara sugar.

Finish: Sweet vanilla, late wisp of peat.

Comment: Simply the best rendition.

Score: 9
